Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Words to live by...

     I'm sure you noted the news this week that 64 year-old Diana Nyad, on her fifth try, completed a 110 mile swim from Cuba to Key West, Florida.  It took her 53 hours.
     What you may not have noted were the 3 messages of what she had learned:

        “One is we should never, ever give up. Two is you never are too old to chase your dreams. Three is it looks like a solitary sport, but it takes a team.”
