Our lives are a journey that we walk together not in order to become "good christian women," but rather to draw near to God so that we can reflect His light to those around us. Our stories, our paths, our dreams and our message are all unique. But we hold hands and walk boldly, fearlessly......onward...creating joy, hope, faith and peace in our wake.

more laughing

more laughing, less bitching.  that's the team goal for my fifth grade team.  we have found ourselves overwhelmed, feeling negative, troubled, pushed too hard with not enough resources, tooooo much work.  and so, the day that we met to, once again, have to articulate together what our goal is, i threw it out there...."more laughing, less bitching." it has stuck.  more making one another find the humor.  more stopping to find a reason to laugh.  more helping each other to simply be people who really do love kids and teaching...though we are in a rough patch.
now, all we have to say is "more laughing" and it throws us into silliness.
it works for life in general too.
sometimes, it's just time to find a reason or two to laugh again.
happy.
i like happy.
joy is always there.  waiting.  growing.
but happy is like good medicine.  it swells up and is contagious.
i want to be a happy heart in the world in which i walk.
blessings.
