Today you will make choices. Those choices will affect more lives than your own.
The damage done by negativity is a knowable thing. If the mother can't find contentment, she has none to share with her children.
No one can have perfect happiness, but *more* happiness is easy to come by. It doesn't cost any more than less happiness, but it's much healthier and better for the whole family and the neighbors and relatives.
Doing something "in fits and starts" means there are stretches of quiet nothing, and then suddenly things are happening. Then nothing, again, for a while. Learning is like that.
In the novel Shogun, the character Mariko says early on:
We have a saying that time has no single measure, that time can be like frost, or lightning, or a tear, or siege, or storm, or sunset, or even like a rock.Try not to measure.
I think it helps to see it through the child's eyes to find out what they're enjoying about it rather than viewing it through our own eyes. —Joyce Fetteroll |
