"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Father's Day

~Any man can be a father. It takes someone special to be a dad.

First of all, Happy Father's Day to my dad :)

Secondly, I tried three new foods today... okay, one new food-the others were just cooked differently. I tried some carrot, potato, and roast all cooked in the crock pot. I'd like to say they were good and it was worth trying them... really, they weren't good at all (no offense to my mom who cooked). It kind of scares me because those are basic foods. If only I could like some staples like salad and potatoes I could find something to eat at restaurants.


The worst is that if I can try something I think is okay, I can eat more. If I really don't like it, I don't think I can. So, when I go to France I'm pretty sure I can get myself to try the foods... but to pretend it's good or eat more for the sake of my host family... that's worrisome.
