    I haven't really thought about my "legacy" for a while. It's such a big word, isn't it. Right now I'm get so caught up in the moment, the day-to-day of going from work to practices and lessons and games, meetings, dances, Cub Scouts and a million other little things that I sometimes forget to look up and out to the future I'm leaving behind. It is important to think about that though and I've been thinking about it a little today because of the quote. I think I've done okay but I want to do more. Time passes quickly though so I've started planting again today. No time to waste and even little seeds can grow big, strong trees. :)
