• The grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence – in fact, some fences we shouldn’t even get near, let alone touch.
• Don’t be the last one to the feed trough.
• There will be death, it will be sad.

• Take a walk outside every day, no matter the weather.
• The best thing to drink is cool, clean water.
• Like a chicken, sometimes we just have to sit on it for a while.
• Mid-day naps in the sun are good for the soul.

• One dog, one horse, or one person can change your life.
• Be who God created you to be!
