Trying New Things

Today I did something that I have never done before!

I sat and talked with a paramedic in one of these:

Considering I've never been in an ambulance it was a very neat experience

I also was invited to come to a training and got to ride in the front seat of one of these:

Also a very neat experience. I thought of my six year-old nephew and how jealous he would be. 

My Desire

My Great-Great Grandmother Hannah Cropper Ashby was a wonderful poet. I was recently reading the book of poems she had published and stumbled across this little gem:

MY DESIRE

I want to walk the way of life 

Steady and unafraid.

I want to walk the way of life

With men that God has made.

Not with the proud and haughty few,

Who boast of wealth and power;

But with those who bear the heavy load

Of every day and hour. 

I can't wait until this is me!
