I need a lot and a lot of your cheerful words... maybe because their was not a lot of cheer in my own childhood... and sometimes, because I find it difficult sometimes to put cheer in our daily activities !<br />Thank you so much, Sandra, your cheerful is love, it's obvious !<br />EdithL'équipe J'OSE la vie !https://www.blogger.com/profile/18023855089901421369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477393606153944420.post-59086329386094211752011-11-08T15:06:34.561-07:002011-11-08T15:06:34.561-07:00I love the cheerful tone !!

I love all the posts here, but this one really stood out for me! Makes me so grateful to be a mom and have the power to always make a difference with my smile and actions. <br /><br />You are a brave woman, Sandra.

Laura ...Nice "creep out," Sunfairie. :-)<br /><br />Laura wrote "oh sandra! you simply can't win can you?" Maybe it's a win to know that people are disturbed by the idea of joy. When they're disturbed, it will make them think. Their thinking negative things about me doesn't hurt my children's happiness a bit.<br /><br />Yesterday was Holly's 20th birthday party (her birthday was during the week). We played table games with seven to fourteen people, varyingly, until late. There was food. There was fun. After I had written last night's "Just Add Light," Holly came down to say her boyfriend was still here, but the others had all gone home. She told me how much fun it had been, and thanked me and hugged me good night. <br /><br />I'm certain that in many other homes, young-adult children were having less peaceful moments with parents. I'm sure that any parent who is creeped out by a cheerful tone is less likely to have had the kind of afternoon and evening I had with my daughter and her friends.Sandra Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11853107998229753762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477393606153944420.post-33245250886657278732011-11-06T04:26:23.827-07:002011-11-06T04:26:23.827-07:00This is crazy...

W...This is crazy... Really? ...someone said that?!<br /><br />Well, I am happy to say that with this post I learned something new today. Contagion. I had no idea what that word meant, Googled it, saw there is a movie with the name as the title and then read the words meaning.<br />This blog embodies all there is of unschooling ...point made above!!<br />I hope the happiness bug catches everyone that reads your blog Sandra! I hope it makes them "creep out" of their homes and into the world with their children! Living joyfully, peacefully, and HAPPILY because your post for the day sparked a good feeling in a parent that needed the uplift.<br />Thank you Sandra.. Keep the cheerios coming!...hold the cows milk though..
