My kids are signing for Egypt! How long would this feeling last?

Adam came from school with a beautiful song about loving Egypt :) 
He keeps repeating it every day as if he is stressing on a point !
I just pray the day never comes when the kids curse me for turning down every immigration opportunity we got.

The things that we learn the hard way!

These are good excerpts from nice article titled "The Things You Shouldn’t Always Have To Learn The Hard Way" , by "Brianna Wiest" :

"And I hope you don’t have to go through a hundred terrible days before you’re able to realize that a bad day does not mean a bad life. We tend to spiral. We tend to get stuck. But the ebb and flow is what keeps things moving, interesting and worthwhile. It’s important. But what’s more important than understanding that is being able to cope with it. To know that most little things can be solved with a nap, a drink or a long talk with someone who wants to listen and that most big things have to be solved with an inner reconciliation."
....
"I hope you know that not all great love has to be forever love"

"You can acknowledge the truth now or you can acknowledge it later, but either way, it will bring you to your knees eventually. The longer you wait and the further you bury it, the worse it will be."

Daring greatly!


Theodore Roosevelt once said: "It is not the critic who counts, nor the person who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deed could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whos face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions, and who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, at least falls while daring greatly; SO THAT HIS PLACE SHALL NEVER BE WITH THOSE COLD AND TIMID SOULS WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY NOR DEFEAT.
