First Day of School

Tomorrow morning is the first day of a new school year for public schools in Michigan. So many things come with this new season…

Perhaps learning a few things in math, science, and English
Worry over how to dress, what to say, where to go, what to do
Learning who to talk to, which teachers to trust, and what food is safe in the cafeteria
What activities do you participate in? Baseball, band, or basket weaving?

I have no answers for you. My only guidance is to learn to trust your heart and allow your mind to work with it. As a teenager, I remember the two didn’t always go well together (the heart and the mind).

Dear Lord,

Please be with all students, teachers, and administrators. So many new adventures are at hand for all. Help each one to find goodness in each and every day.

Amen!

Now I Know

21 Jan

I learned some things on Sunday evening, January 13, 2013.

It was dark and cold. I was tired, and light wasn’t on my agenda, so I had taken the garbage through the house without turning on any additional lights. However, I did require the garage light, so that I would not miss throwing the trash into the trash bin. (I was not bending over to pick up anything that didn’t make it in.)

At the same moment that I opened the door between the house and the garage, I turned on the light. There, on the edge of the garbage bin was a mouse. I learned a few things.

Have you ever dreamt that you were in a dangerous situation and needed to scream, but you could not make a sound? No one could hear you? No one could come to your aid? Well, I learned that when frightened, I scream like a howling banshee.
I learned that a mouse can jump at least three feet through the air, run over the top of a car, and fling its self into the unknown void in the back of the garage in under 8 seconds flat.
I learned that my mom can’t hear me scream like this with the television on in another room.
I learned that my cats will come running no matter where they are in the house.
I learned that I must now teach my cats how to use the phone to dial 911.

Morale of the Story: You learn something new every day.
