New Blog!!!

I had to start a new blog. Apparently I take too many pictures and blogger would not allow me to add anymore to this link. The new one is styxfamily5.blogspot.com

Waiting for Cayden to get on the bus..........

A note from a friend.........

I was sent this by a very dear friend.....It is worth
reading and thinking about!


"People are often unreasonable, illogical and
self centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish,
ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends
and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy
overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be
enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and
your God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

-Mother Teresa"
