26 Acts of Kindness

Ever since the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, I have heard of people doing 26 Acts of Kindness in memory of the 26 people who died.

I plan to join in on this, as I think it is a great idea.

 

Willow Shields, who plays Primrose Everdeen in the Hunger Games series, did this, and has inspired many to take part as well.

 

I have a few ideas already, of what I want to do, which I will mention in another post.

I hope that you remember, during this holiday season, those who are suffering. Everyone is fighting their own battle, whatever it may be.

Birthday Weekend

Well, yesterday was my birthday. I had a good day, getting a present from a neighbor family, a card and money from my dad, making a gingerbread house, putting up the tree and decorations, church with dad, baking a cake (yes, I baked my own birthday cake, which I do not mind doing at all), and watching a couple movies (Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Harry Potter 3).

I had a really good day overall. The presents I got from the neigbors were 3 headbands, a magnetic color cubes set, a dark chocolate turkey, and a card. I am already hooked on the color cubes, as I LOVE magnets. There is a booklet that came with the set, that has pattern ideas. I have already done two of them so far.

I'm not doing anything special today. Just relaxing.

Rest in Peace Nelson Mandela

A couple days ago we learned that Nelson Mandela has died at the age of 95. That is so sad, as he was an amazing man, who did even more amazing things.

He was brave, inspiring, peace-loving, accepting, and he was only just one man. Yet he changed that way many people think and act towards others.

He will be dearly missed, but he is in a better place, and I am thankful that he has lived, even though I have never met him.

You can read a bit about him here.

Rest in peace, Mr. Mandela. You were very loved here on Earth.

Newsong - The Christmas Shoes

This song always gets to me, every time I hear it. This is one of my favorite holiday songs.

Remember, this season, those who are struggling for whatever reason.

Bozo the Clown...A Classic Kid's Show

My dad and I were watching a show the other day, about the making of the Bozo the Clown show, and it made us reminisce about watching the show growing up.

 

I remember watching that show as a kid, and loved it. I wish it was still on, as it was one of my favorite shows growing up.

 

On the show the other day, one of the things they showed was when Bozo and a kid from the audience were at the bucket game, where you throw a ball into several buckets, and win a prize in each on.

 

The little girl who was playing didn't quite understand the rules. She kept walking over to each bucket and throwing the ball in, instead of staying behind the line like she was supposted to.

 

Bozo was exasperated with her, because she wasn't doing what she was supposed to in the game. It was funny, but cute.

 

There were a few other cartoons/shows that I loved watching as a kid, but I think Bozo the clown was my favorite.

 

What was your favorite show as a kid? Is it still on TV? What was your favorite part of the show?

My Food Sanitation & Safety Teacher is Awesome!!!

My teacher told us today that she was dropping Test 4, and instead giving us her final exam next week. There is a ServSafe exam the following week, which we have to take as well.

 

Well, for the teacher's final exam, we have to take it in class, instead of at home like we did for all the other tests.

 

But, when leaving to go home after class, my teacher offered me the option of either taking the exam in class, or at home. I have a learning disability, so that is probably why she offered that to me.

 

I decided to take it at home, because then I can have more time to prepare, and take the test. I can be more relaxed during the test.

 

I had her for a class previously so I know she was a really good teacher, but this made her an awesome teacher. I am SO glad I got to be able to take two different classes with her as the teacher.

 

She has really helped me feel confident in my schooling, that I can do well in my classes. That makes all the difference for someone like me. And I love that!!

 

So, many thank you's to my teacher, for all that you have done for me. You have no idea how much that means to me, what you have done, and I will miss being in your classes.
