Vision
Ever had to be Pushed to See Something Differently?
I had totally given up on my front garden, nothing ever grew there except weeds and dust, probably because I didn't ever water it! I ignored the mess that garden had become and really saw it as a hopeless space. Then came my neighbor Robbie,who shared his vision of splendor for the garden. Thus, from his vision my garden was transformed and I realized if I put a little work into that garden it could be beautiful, a source of pride and a space where I can find peace, while watering and tending it.
Kids are like that too. We label someone as hopeless, non caring, figuring he/she won't change, yet, if we do a 360 and see him/her from a different angel we can see so much promise. Just a little attention, and tending to him/her and we have a child - who blossoms into the person he/she was destined to be!!
I had pictures of my new garden but my phone isn't compatible with Google something ??? so it won't work. Bummer!!! In Shane's words, my phone is old....
Thank yous to you and you and you too!
Thanks to all who have been putting up with the duct cleaning this weekend. It is apparent these guys are actually cleaning the ducts.
Thanks so much to Marc and Sean who served us the most delicious burgers and salads on Friday. These two guys do so much for us at Spirit. You girls chose well! They are the best guys ever!
Thanks to Shane who planned our Ed Planning session. It was introspective. I think we've got the beginnings of a solid plan for next year. Support staff its your turn to look it over.
Thanks so much to Sharon and Bob and their crew for assistance with Google drive and Google classroom. I see a few people have tried it out already. Fun, Fun, Fun!
Thanks to all who allowed sixes to test in a quiet uninterrupted environment. We appreciate your assistance with that.
