"People are often unreasonable, irrational and self centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; be honest and sincere. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten; do good anyway. Give the best you have and it may never be enough; give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Theresa

Trying A Little Harder

I could go on for days about how hard my parents work. They work from before the sunrise well into the night, and have been doing that my entire life. And that's not me being dramatic at all. It's actually an understatement. My parents have broken their backs, bruised, sacrificed so much for me, I honestly could never repay them. But it does give me something to aspire to. I guess you can call my parents, The Ultimate Goal. One would be so lucky to even come near my parents' bar.

I had just finished doing a few homework assignments for my math class and as I closed up shop (lock doors, close curtains etc.), I peeked out the door window and saw my mom standing at the sink in the extension. She was washing dishes. It's now just a little past 10 pm and I know my mom has put in a good few days work in just today alone. We did a few shopping trips for Willy. Paid some bills, ran errands. I just don't know how my parents do it.

Here are a few pics from earlier today while we were waiting to head out and run those errands...

As we come into this Holiday of Thanks, I want to thank my parents. My parents do more for me then I give them credit for. I am able to get through each semester of college, I am able to work, I am able to do my calling and I am even able to do things on my own time BECAUSE of my parents. They are incredible beings! Like seriously. I hope I can be as hard a worker as they are one day.

Thank You Mom and Dad for all that you do for us! We truly are grateful and appreciative of you guys and the sacrifice you guys make for our little family each and every day! Thank You!!! WE LOVE YOU GUYS SOOO MUCH!!

Tamara, Henele and Via xoxo

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all may be thankful for all that you guys have and are blessed with!
