Why Barefoot??

WHY BAREFOOT????
Because being barefoot to me is being raw. Feeling every sharp rock, lush clover, spiky thistle, cushioned blade of grass, slimy covered stones, fragrant feathered flowers, cereal of sand, bead of water, element of litter, and the mash of mud.

Being Barefoot is the promise of prancing in the moonlight, leaping in the waves, running through a meadow, dancing on the porch, and doing all this while enduring a long journey to the end.

21 great things in my life...

Today is my son Ryan's Birthday so today's focus will be around 21 great things Ryan has brought into my life...
21 - RYAN

 20 - Air guitar solo's  awesome

19 - Video Games - whether it be PS2 or Wii I am grateful that he gives me a way to enjoy them.

18 - Comics or graphic novels as they are called now


17 - Doing things for people (like taking pictures) especially when you don't want to.


 16 - Ryan actually hates basketball but he played on his school team for me last year.


15 - Belly laughing at things, yes he was pretending to be a rat.


14 - Examples Ryan has shown me how to be a good example to people and how to care for people. This is his cousin Andy at his baptism all the cousins love Ryan.


13 - Animal facts he knows a lot about animals



12 - Youth day in our Stake we have a yearly tradition of playing softball thanks to Ryan I got to watch last year.

 11 - How to live in a messy bedroom? I don't know how he does it but it doesn't bother him at all.


10 - How to never take life too seriously

9 - Bottle rockets so cool.

8 - Love of Xmen movies


7 - Physical fitness Ryan ran his first 5k last summer and did great. 


 6 - Greater appreciation of dinosaurs

5 - Ryan struggles a lot in school but he always is trying his best and is quick to apologize when he has forgotten something or done something wrong and goes about trying to set it right. His humbleness is amazing.


4- Ryan is a wonderful brother he often has to do things which wouldn't be his choice but is very patience with his little sisters.

 3 - A reason to have a lot of baseball caps around


2 - To see things outside the box really who would think of posing beside the giant smiley face like you were getting spit up.


 1 - The capturing and disposal of small rodents.

Thanks for tuning in,
