Planting a Seed…

As an educator, I have often worked with fellow staff members or students and I would feel frustrated because they seem to care less about what I perceived as critical things. The rest of that story is about the blessings I see in them "down the road" and learning that small thoughts and ideas shared became an essential part of their foundation and led them to an enjoyable and productive life. Lesson learned...plant the seed and allow the good in people to enable germination and growth when they are ready and it is valued.

Have a nice day… Take care of yourself and OTHERS!
