Cherokee Thought of the Day

Anytime we fall down in doing anything and we get up and have another go at it, count it all progress.  It is getting up that makes a warrior, di tli hi, as the Cherokee says it.  Getting up doesn't mean the warrior is fearless or that he is totally self-confident.  It does mean that he gains confidence as he persistently keeps trying, and he fully expects strength to come as he needs it.  He asks, na quu na?  How about now?  Everyone is afraid of a challenge, afraid of being down and staying down.  But relying on the Great Spirit gives the courage to speak powerful words to bolster the human spirit.  So, how about now?

I know the Great Spirit is looking down upon me from above, and will hear what I say.  -Sitting Bull

Grant Montgomery Cowart

We are pleased to announce the birth of our son, Grant Montgomery Cowart, on July 20, 2009 at 4:37 a.m. weighing in at 8 lbs. 1 oz.  He is the pride and joy of both his father and myself and is a fun, mellow baby boy to have in our home.  This first-time parenting thing is exhausting but each day that passes is rewarding and blessed.  It has been two weeks since the his birthday and life has changed but not as much as we expected.  He loves to suck on his hands, enjoys car rides and walks in his stroller.
