As I travel through the grief stages with the loss of my Papa, this came to me and made me remember; Get back on the horse, don't let'em throw you.  Don't stay down. 

 My friends are many and very supportive.  I found new steadfastness in family I did not know was there.

Noah's  Ark Everything I  need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark..
ONE:  Don't miss the boat.
TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat.  
THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the  Ark.
FOUR:  Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something  really big.
FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job  that needs to be done.
SIX: Build your future on high ground.  
SEVEN: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
EIGHT: Speed isn't  always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
NINE:  When you're stressed, float awhile.
TEN: Remember, the  Ark was built by  amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
ELEVEN: No matter the storm,  when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

Most  people walk in and out of your life......but FRIENDS leave footprints in  your heart
