Our Choices
"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom (home or office).  It’s my personal approach that creates the climate.  It's my daily mood that makes the weather.  As a teacher (parent, spouse or worker), I possess a tremendous power to make a person's life miserable or joyous.  I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.  I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.  In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a person humanized or de-humanized."              Haim Ginott

I hope you have a great day… it’s your choice!

Thoughts… on a rainy day


"To the world, you might be one person, but to one person you might just be the world."

“Just going to church does not make you a Christian any more than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger."
 
"Real friends are those who, when you feel you've made a fool of yourself, don't feel you've done a permanent job."
 
"A coincidence is when God performs a miracle, and decides to remain anonymous."

"I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to."

"People gather bundles of sticks to build bridges they never cross."

 "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience."

 "Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep."  -Carl Sandburg

 "Following the path of least resistance is what makes rivers and men crooked."

Have a nice day unless you have chosen otherwise!
