Maybe I should be a little more crazy …

Here’s to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They’re not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them,
disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them.
About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine.
They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
Maybe they have to be crazy.

How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art?
Or sit in silence and hear a song that’s never been written?
Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough
to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do.

My brother wants to be a Costa Rican butterfly farmer

Jill and Shelly liked Costa Rica too but I hear they don’t want rice and beans for a while … See their trip photos by clicking on the butterfly.

Michele comes home today after passing her class! Woo Hoo … full-fledged employment as a bilingual elementary school teacher looms near. Congrats, Michele! Welcome home, all!
