Quotation Station...
From the Movie "Broken Trails":
"We're all travelers in this world,
From the sweet grass,
To the Packin' house...
Birth till death
We travel between the Eternities."
"Plants are the young of the world, vessels of helath and vigor... they grope ever upward toward consciousness."
Ralph Wlado Emerson (1803-1882)
Fear less, hope more;eat less, chew more;whine less, breathe more;talk less, say more;love more, and all good things will be yours.
-Swedish proverb
Handprint Tree...
Here's a great idea for a
Christmas tree from your child or grandchild's handprints.
Materials: colored paper or board,decorations,glue,scissors
Directions
Trace a child's hand on green paper. You will need 8 or 9 handprints for the tree branches.
Cut out a star for the top of the tree, and a trunk.
Glue the trunk on the bottom of the page. Then glue the hand prints to create the tree.
Add the star at the top of the tree.
Decorate the tree using anything you have on hand (paint, bits of colored paper, tinsel, ribbon sequins)
Hints:
Fold the paper so that you are cutting out 2 or four hand prints at one time.
Try arranging the prints to create the tree before you start gluing.
This is so easy and so fun. Enjoy!
Journal Jottings...
As ironic as it may seem, I was inspired to begin this blog by mean and rude people. Through people I've met, both good and bad, it continues to blow me away how some people can be to others without knowing them or never even meeting them before. Sometimes my mind asks, "What have I ever done to you? I don't even know you!" I'll be the first to admit to some pretty bad days, and I'm sure there will be much opportuntiy for more, but that is still no reason to treat people crappy. I just so badly wanted to take the negetivity from myself, and those around me and turn that energy into goodness, happiness, love and inspiration. It is so easy to get caught up in the financial stress, work worries, and just too much stuff going on in our lives, but we can still be good and happy people. That goodness has seemed to have been lost among much of society, especially through kids...and they are the source. I truely believe kids are what, when all is said and donewill change the world, will change all of us. We must be the examples, but more importantly we must be willing for these little people to teach us, and for us to actually learn from them. I get the biggest kick out of people who are so annoyed by kids and crying babies, like they never were one...get over yourself, and try to use a little patience. Have some fun. If you do good, good will come to you.
