As a teacher who sees about 560 students every week, “Don’t take things personally” is a very good motto to live by! Except, of course, when things are going awesomely well, in which case, I take it all personally 🙂 Luckily, I have plenty of good days with the kids.

Sophie, I cannot take credit for these words. They are a “quote”. The NEXT post today are my own words, though. Yes, I do have my own words too. (smile) Love, Amy

Thank you, Mom. I took this photo with my cheap lense last summer, and I had to do some adjusting in Photoshop in order for it look really good. One thing I have gained from working with a cheap lense, is how to make a so-so photo, look like a great photo. There are blessings in ALL things!!!
Bless you, for the compliment and for being here. My next post will be my words and another beautiful flower. Love, Amy

Thanks, Morgan. I plan on getting it cut so I can grow it out, and take it from there. Right now it is a little below ear level. Have a great weekend. I’m a bit under the weather, so I think I might be off of here the weekend. Love, Amy

I know. It’s only common sense. But I was raised to it, and it’s the most difficult eradication I face. I honestly doubt I’ll ever get rid of it before I fall off the twig.
Lovely pic., but.

Margaret Rose, welcome to the human race. Dichotomy, irony, inside-out life. All we can ask of ourselves is to do our best. That’s it. And hopefully we all get a wee wiser before we fall off the twig. (smile)

A great reminder for the weekend, Amy. I was raised in a culture of blame and I am so glad that I do not have to live there ever again. Sometimes I just have to close my mouth and let the person pointing a finger discover that you can’t argue by yourself. 😀
