* Always be ready to explore – new people and new places * Welcome, indeed seek out, new ideas and new ways of seeing the world * Treasure memories and possessions, but remember a single seashell can be as precious as a grand piece of sculpture * Notice the first green tinge of bulbs breaking the soil as much as the sweep of the mountains and the ocean * Allow the bush to be part of your home and watch the miracles unfold * A four-legged fur person is a very important member of the family * Don’t be afraid to dress up and make a fool of yourself * Enjoy time alone – and celebrate time with friends * Books and friends are a magic combination * Always try to be the best you can be – and then try to be that bit better * When things are at their toughest, fight the hardest * Revel in the silence, but play the music really loud * When you are in a dark place, be guided by the light of those who love you Gerry & Roger
