March Hospital Visit
We visited just few days ago our sweet hospital's children. We did this time together art & coloring activities and after that we sang for them the color rime to teach how to say in English the different colors names. We ended the morning singing more Thai and English children songs... wow so fun!

Beautiful Nature
Learning from Nature
I love to think
of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us
every hour, if we will only tune in.—George Washington Carver
Nature is man’s
teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illumines his
mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and
sounds of her existence.—Alfred Billings Street
Nature does
not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.—Lao Tzu
Climb the
mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as
sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.—John
Muir
I believe that there
is a subtle magnetism in nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will
direct us aright.—Henry David Thoreau
Forget not that
the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your
hair.—Khalil Gibran
Look deep into
nature, and then you will understand everything better.—Albert Einstein
To sit in the
shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment.—Jane
Austen
Happiness
flutters in the air whilst we rest among the breaths of nature.—Kelly
Sheaffer
There is a way
that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not
patient enough, quiet enough to pay attention to the story.—Linda Hogan
If the sight of
the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the
fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message
that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.—Eleonora Duse

My Father job
I saw in Face Book a wile a go this touching picture that it reminded me my childish time visiting my father shoemaker shop. He had the same table to work on, small and short size with all the needy tools & necessary items to repairer all kind of broken shoes. He had started to work handcraft from a very young age, and stop his activity at 68 years old.

Encouraging Quote
I’m not perfect. And who knows how many times I’ve fallen short. We all fall short. That’s the amazing thing about the grace of God.—Tim Tebow

Women's gifts
We can't smile or laugh often enough. This story shared by
LeeRoy Garrett should get your week off to a perfect start:
One morning, the husband returns the boat to their lakeside
cottage after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap.
Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to
take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, puts her feet up,
and begins to read her book. The peace and solitude are magnificent.
Along comes a Fish and Game Warden in his boat.
He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'
He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'
'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that
obvious?').
'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her.
'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading.'
'Yes, but I see you have all the equipment. For all I know
you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual
assault,' says the woman.
'But I haven't even touched you,' says the Game Warden.
'That's true, but you have all the equipment..
For all I know you could start at any moment.'
For all I know you could start at any moment.'
'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.
MORAL:
Never argue with a woman who reads.
It's likely she can also think.
Never argue with a woman who reads.
It's likely she can also think.

Benefiting from laughter
Laughter is a great mood elevator. Being able to laugh, especially at myself, turns things that could be discouraging into something more positive. For example, one of the challenges for some of us is the faltering of our short-term memory and the funny things we sometimes do as a result. These little faux pas can give you some great “conversation starters,” and keep you humble at the same time.
Some of the things I do sometimes are quite humorous, such as picking up something, intending to take it into the other room, but then getting there and wondering what happened to it. Then returning to the other room only to realize that I had picked it up, gotten distracted by something else and put it down in the same spot instead of bringing it into the next room. Or, have you ever been looking all around for your phone when it was in your hand? I have!
Occasionally I can forget whether my glasses are on my face or not, or where I just put down my pen, or whether I sent that file off a minute ago or not.
Laughter is a great stress releaser. Laughter is also good for your health. It relaxes the whole body. A good hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to forty-five minutes afterwards. Laughter boosts the immune system. The Mayo Clinic says, “When it comes to relieving stress, more giggles and guffaws are just what the doctor ordered. Here’s why: whether you’re guffawing at a sitcom on TV or quietly giggling at a newspaper cartoon, laughter does you good. Laughter is a great form of stress relief, and that’s no joke. … When you start to laugh, it doesn’t just lighten your load mentally. It actually induces physical changes in your body. Laughter can stimulate many organs, activate and relieve your stress response, soothe tension, and more.” (Maria Fountain 1946 -- )
