happiness is to FORGIVE

or be a

GRUDGE MONSTER

happy or angry by lisa hill
*love the flag on the dress and the shirt.
with the 4th of july a few days away,
we tied our celebration of our freedom to choose how we will act
be happy? or be a grudge monster?

treat option--"ROLL UP"
the atonement and forgiveness are ROLLED UP into a powerful principle
forgiveness formula added and ROLLED UP = LOVE

the class attached the lesson formula
to the paddle
FORGIVE

when others hurt us,

are unkind in any way.

get rid of the feelings of anger,

forget the unkindness,

treat the person with kindness and

LOVE

i learned this morning

this is a lesson

i don't ever outgrow.

SUNSHINE ON MY TOOTSIES MAKES ME HAPPY

one thing i love about a new school year is new school shoes. 

it seems as though the variety of colors and styles are endless. 

i love to see the expression on noah's face when he puts on a new pair of shoes.

 his smile radiates pure SUNSHINE and that makes me HAPPY. 

infact it is worth all the money that i do not have. 

i love a new pair of shoes as much as the next person, 

but there are some shoes that just plain make me HAPPY and smile. 

i found a few fitting that very description at my place of employment. 

early light is adorned with the bright brights as in a pair worn by a student named will...

notice the difference in shoelace color...

that is going the extra bright mile.

then there is ari...she is as bright in personality as in the shoes that she wears. 

she just happened to be spotted with another young woman who found orange to be her bright pick. just seeing these shoes of SUNSHINE step down the hall along with other bright brights made me happy that i had my camera with me.

 i wonder...if i had a bright yellow pair of shoes...

would my countenance SHINE brighter? would my load feel lighter?

 would my steps be chipper? 

would there be a skip in my stride? 

would others notice me in the way that i noticed my students? 

would my shoes make someone else smile? 

i really do not know
 but it is worth finding out...next purchase...

MADS AND ANJ IN REAL LIFE

i am supposed to be working on something...

anything that gets me closer to my goal

a house of order and sips of LEMONADE

  i glance to see if ifhs is having a 30 year reunion...

it hardly seems plausible

  i have summer school tomorrow

 and so i browse the internet

 looking for activities to accompany the novel we plan to read

 and then i sit and sit and sit

  there is laudry piled high

16 plus projects waiting to be completed

 one, two, no three maybe four blogs that need either catching up or wrapping up

  i can't seem to pull myself away from the computer because then i will have to be productive

  ahh haa

MADS IN REAL LIFE

 i always feel uplifted

 she is probably the happiest person i know

the QUEEN OF LEMONADE

 by the way, i received an adorable thank you

 from love. madly.
