Good afternoon! How is the goal setting going? Usually when I ask that question I see the odd person who kind of glazes over and get's a distant look in their eyes - a sure sign that they've been too busy to set those goals they've been putting off doing. Don't worry, if you're one of them, you are not alone!

The other day I was gifted a book of beautiful photography from the surrounding area. Page after page of breathtaking images. Even though I have spent many summers enjoying the views from my home and our boat, I had trouble identifying all the places, and it really forced me to imagine everything from a different view.

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared.He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole. Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.

So the man decided to help the butterfly.He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.The butterfly emerged easily but it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.
