I stood next to my sister at our quirky, fun Forth of July parade here in Ojai, both of us snapping more than a hundred of photos. But, before I could even get out of bed the next morning and wipe the sleep from my eyes, my sister had her photos up on her blog already. As I browsed through, I reallzed that if I posted mine it would look like plagerism! As I was browsing through my snaps again today, I figured there are a few I should share to brighten everyones day. There is nothing like an honest smile from a child to cheer us all and feel hope for the future.
Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven.
~ Henry Ward Beecher, reverend and social activist
If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all.
~Pearl S. Buck
Children are one third of our population and all of our future.
~Select Panel for the Promotion of Child Health, 1981
Children are likely to live up to what you believe of them.
~ Lady Bird Johnson, former U.S. First Lady
