These two pictures of Schloss Linderhof. Here is where Ludwig spent most of his time. He was a little goofy as I said yesterday. He started his day with breakfast each day at 5 PM. Then stayed up all night reading before going to bed at daybreak. This castle is built to reflect the court of Louis the 14th and 15th whom he idolized.
Happy Sunday!
Todays message is about striving to do your best. Doing our best in anything is a goal - at least it should be. But often times, we leave it at a distance. Something we really don't think about or focus on. "Sure I want to be the best possible college student" - "I'm doing the best I can everyday."
But I have a different piece of advice. Rather than leaving it out there as something you are always trying to do, every once in a while (or more often) focus in on your goal of getting better. To do this grab a pen and paper and write down a list - a list of the things you could do to get better.
Sabbatical has done this for me. I have been teaching for 19 years. Sure I've always wanted to be the best teacher possible. But over the past year I have been asking myself, "what does that mean?" and then writing down what that means to me. As a result I have spent a lot of time searching for the answers and hopefully, when I step foot in the classroom again on May 14th, there will be a positive result.
The BOTTOM Line - to do well in anything, we have to want to do better - to do better, we have to know what that means and then act.

This part of Germany was once known as Bavaria. In the 1860-1880 timeframe the ruler was King Ludwig II. He was a crazy character who spent lots of money. He had 3 castles built for him, before he was declared insane and was "inadvertantly" drowned. Today we visited 2 of the castles. The scenery was incredible as were the castles. Here is one. I can't spell it,but it starts with N. It is the castle that Cinderella's castle was patterened after. I will have better pics and appropriate names tomorrow. It is now half past midnight and we have a full day planned for tomorrow. Good night.
