Simple but gigantic

One of the best first steps a family can take toward moving a giant step toward being more positive is to note and back off about anyone or anything they've called "dumb" or "stupid."

It's simple but gigantic.

If things (music, ideas, jokes) are allowed the dignity of being potentially accepted as perhaps good in someone's estimation, lights come on all over that world.

  1. If I were writing for publication, I would've looked for duplicate words. It was in a discussion, so I missed this: "toward moving a giant step toward..."

    Those days, on always Learning, though, were rich and fast and FULL of stories and ideas, so I accept the imperfections.

    Because I wish things could be just a little better, it made it easier for me to ratchet upward and onward, when my kids were little, and to think "What else would be cool to do?"
