Life is...

"Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.
-Mother Teresa"

Destination: Highway 395 (March 2010)

My husband and I decided to spend our 4th year wedding anniversary in Reno, NV. There are easy ways but we chose the longer routes which included the Highway 395 for scenic views and it paid off. It was a long drive but the views are just amazing, small towns that range from only 20 to 300 population, ghost towns, fields (lots of fields), country views, high deserts and spectacular snowcapped mountains. The trip also included some suicidal deers, chipmunks, and birds which added fun to the driving. 

Must haves: GPS and California Map
