I love the first passage that you took from Paul Coelho. I think that is very true! I actually have his book The Alchemist and haven't read it yet, but I may just have to pull it out over the long weekend! :)

Ali thanks again for helping me to find ways to keep grounded. I really enjoyed Christne Kane's thoughts and now I don't feel so bad about everything I do that doesn't turn out just right! Also after reading the Zen Habits I feel better about having a "lazy" summer. Thanks again Ali.

Thanks for the quote Ali. It really touched me this morning. I already emailed it to my boss, as we have that kind of a relationship.
Have a great summer with the kiddos!
