Had somewhat of a stressful first half of the day with my 5yo having "one of those days" at Church combined with me having too much to do and not enough time, feeling rushed and unprepared for my Primary class, and guilty about it.  After a nap, things got better though.  We assembled the new BBQ grill for Father's Day and grilled some delicious kabobs and corn on the cob. My kids are sure lucky to have such an amazing Dad.  Aaron is the bomb.

This poem epitomizes Aaron's outlook on life:

 The Victor

by C.W. Longenecker

If you think you are beaten you are

If you think you dare not, you don't

If you like to win but you think you can't

It's almost certain you won't

 

If you think you will lose, you have lost

For out in the world we find

Success begins with a fellows will

It’s all in the state of mind

 

If you think you are outclassed, you are.

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.

 

Life's battles don't always go

To the stronger or faster man.

But soon or late, the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can!
