Can’t is the worst word that’s written or spoken;
Doing more harm here than slander and lies;
On it is many a strong spirit broken,
And with it many a good purpose dies.

There is no smell, no sight of cake, torte, or roast that transports me back to my childhood as quickly as a jar of chocolate spread.
I wish for peace and find myself torn
I am always with the children of the lesser god
because let’s face it, that’s what we think they are.
Less important.
Israel, oh Israel, how I cried with you when the attack happened.
How I feared for the hostages.

Imagine children from childcare through 8th grade developing the skills to cultivate greater happiness in life. What a wonderful idea to introduce happiness, to accept that one can adapt and change the mindset to BE HAPPIER.
