If I could swallow the sky
And the mountains too
I'd do it
So there'd be nothing
To fall on you
Cause in a world full of wonders
To let it openly wonder
When there's still little wonder left in you
And all I wanna do
Is show you
How easy
It could be
For you to paint back
The colours
Like the green in your tree
Before it all fades away
- Love this song. Time to start this up again.

How high can you jump?
I found a motivational story that I really enjoyed reading. I thought we could all use a little motivation this Friday....who knows the possibilities the weekend will bring! :)
Happy Friday, everyone! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR IRIS!!! :)

Flea trainers have observed a predictable and strange habit of fleas while training them. Fleas are trained by putting them in a cardboard box with a top on it. The fleas will jump up and hit the top of the cardboard box over and over and over again. As you watch them jump and hit the lid, something very interesting becomes obvious. The fleas continue to jump, but they are no longer jumping high enough to hit the top. Apparently, Excedrin headache 1738 forces them to limit the height of their jump.
When you take off the lid, the fleas continue to jump, but they will not jump out of the box. They won't jump out because they can't jump out. Why? The reason is simple. They have conditioned themselves to jump just so high. Once they have conditioned themselves to jump just so high, that's all they can do!
Many times, people do the same thing. They restrict themselves and never reach their potential. Just like the fleas, they fail to jump higher, thinking they are doing all they can do.
Happy Friday, everyone! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR IRIS!!! :)
