Blessed Day

Today is a blessed day because it's the day that Lindsey came into all our lives! This is one of my favorite pictures of her and Megan. Happy Birthday Linz! We love you!
You cannot stay on the summit forever;
You have to come down again.
So why bother in the first place?
Just this:
What is above knows what is below,
But what is below does not know what is above.
One climbs, one sees.
One descends, one sees no longer,
But, one HAS SEEN!
There is an art of conducting oneself
By the memory of what one saw higher up.
When one can no longer see, one can at least know.
-Rene Daumal

  3. What a great day to remember. She is so special to all of us. I was thinking of her on this special day and I was looking at a facebook group there is for Lindsey. Many friends and family were writing her happy birthday notes. It is so fun to have a contribution page to her and to see what others would say to her on this special day. It is "Tribute to Linds" on Facebook. Type that in and you can check it out.
    Love the picture. Hope you had a great time with your family.
