First, yesterday at work we always begin with a light warm up. I was teaching the 5 yr. old girls how to do the butterfly stretch. I had them get in the ready position and I told them we were going to make a sandwich. Their feet were the pieces of bread and they were going to hold them open and put in the meat and the lettuce and tomatoes and things like such as. After they had them all in we closed the pieces of bread and we stretch over to eat the sandwich. When I looked up to see if they were stretching over, I saw the girls really biting their feet. I think they got the concept pretty well!
Second, I realized today that some people really aren't worth patching-up friendships. I was trying to be the bigger person and help things fade out on good terms but it was not meant to be. I heard a quote a few years ago that said "Don't worry about people from your past, there is a reason they didn't make it into your future." I think that is the case for this one.
Last but not least, I got to see a calvaruim yesterday! Unfortunately I was only able to see the beginning of the sawing and then I had to go to the bus stop, but it was still neat to see the different layers of the skin and the skull =]
"When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us."
First, I LOVED that about your girls. Isn't is so cute how children can be so literal? They are so impressionable and moldable - they just trust you and take your word. How adorable!
ReplyDeleteNext, your second comment was a little cryptic. You'll have to expound more!
Also, I love your quotes - both of them. The one at the end of your blog really striked a note with me though. I'm always grieving for life that is past and over. Instead I should be happy for what I got to enjoy! Thanks for making me think.
