(aka Becky, Princess)
“I tried steering a dragon boat last Sat and have been thinking since then that I liked it – is that a bit sad?”
“Watch your thoughts for they become your words.
Watch your words for they become your actions.
Watch your actions for they become your habits.
Watch your habits for they become your character.
Watch your character for it becomes your destiny.”
