The Glasses Family

Those were his words. "Well, I guess I have really joined the glasses family..." And in a way he has. I knew that it was only a matter of time with both mom and dad wearing glasses.

After we picked up the glasses, when he first came outside, he said, "It is like a whole new world." Then he proceeded to lower the glasses and then raise them back up saying, "...old world ... new world ... old world ... new world ..." Then he stopped and said, "How long have those smudges been on the window?" They had been there for a long time.

It reminded me of when I first got glasses. I can still remember walking outside and looking at the trees. I couldn't believe that you could actually see the individual leaves from a distance. It was so weird at first.

Anyway, I think that he looks pretty sharp with those glasses on. But it makes him look older too, which I am not so sure that I like. For me it seems like he just started crawling yesterday. I am not ready for him to look this old.

My parents are convinced i'm still in elementary school.... You should've seen them cry when i got married in the school play!!!! well, that's what they told me, i was too busy staring what i hope was dreamily into the eyes of Christopher Thomas. :) ha,ha.

The Seed and The Soil of Education (New Learning Project Part 1)

(This is my entry for the first part of my project for my New Learning course that I am taking.) Introduction Corn Fields in Illinois I have lived the majority of my life in the Midwest: mid-state Illinois to be specific. Where I live, farming is everywhere. My grandparents and great-grandparents on both sides of my family were farmers. My dad grew up on a farm and owned farmland, well into my own adulthood. But, even if it wasn’t in the family, I still would have been surrounded by farming. You can’t go more than a mile outside of my city’s limits without encountering miles and miles of fields. Most of our highways, and even interstates, are located between acres of farmland.

This too shall pass...

Gam zeh ya'avor (Hebrew) "This Too Shall Pass" Welcome!  According to Google Analytics, this is by far the most visited post that I have ever written.  If someone comes here from a search engine, most of the time they are looking for " this too shall pass quote " or simply " this too shall pass " on Google or one of the other search engines. I am sure that most of the time visitors are looking for the originations of this quote, but I have to wonder, why is this quote on people's minds? Why are they pondering the passing of events?   Here is my thought: It is probably because most of us have realized that the adult life is much harder than we ever imagined it to be. There is more pain and more sorrow than we had ever imagined as children, but we have learned that time keeps ticking. And as time continues to flow things pass. In fact, even the really big things and the really hard things will still pass. If you are here because you are thinking ...

Every baby starts life as a little savage. He is completely selfish and self-centered. He wants what he wants when he wants it: his bottle, his mother's attention, his playmate's toys, his uncle's watch, or whatever. Deny him these and he seethes with rage and aggressiveness which would be murderous were he not so helpless. He's dirty, he has no morals, no knowledge, no developed skills. This means that all children, not just certain children but all children, are born delinquent. If permitted to continue in their self-centered world of infancy, given free reign to their impulsive actions to satisfy each want, every child would grow up a criminal, a thief, a killer, a rapist.
