Habits.

Depending on what they are, our habits will either make us or break us. We become what we repeatedly do. As writer Samuel Smiles put it:
Sow a thought, and your reap an act;
Sow an act, and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and your reap a destiny.

Oh my goodness! It is one of my favorite people writing this blog!!!! I saw a link to your blog on Kellie Knowles blog(who I found from a comment on Nicole Hill's blog), and thought, it couldn't be THE Elder family, could it? But it IS!

Hope you don't mind me checking it out! What a cute family you have, and I have a very hard time believing your kids are all so grown up....how could that have happened since I still feel 16?!

My mom misses you guys since you moved. You guys were so sweet to her, she appreciated it more than you know, and so did I! Thanks.

If you'd like to see my family, my blog is:

They are crazy kids but we have fun!

It was fun to "see" you! And tell your husband HI from me!

PS- Very good quote...I need to laminate that and stick it on my fridge!
