“I Am Happy” by Thomas Darnell … Thomas is feeling kind of sad that tomorrow is the last day of school so he wrote and sang this song for himself. He’s going to miss his new teacher, Ms. Nicole, and all of his classmates.

We talked about enjoying every single minute of his last school day tomorrow and that this is helpful because it’s a sign of how much he likes his school, teacher and classmates. Good thing about Montessori … he will be with Ms. Nicole and all of his classmates again in August for the start of the 2nd grade!

(Sound is very low. You won’t be able to hear it unless use earbuds or it’s very quiet where you are … Sorry. I wasn’t paying attention to my distance from him.)

“Stuff” I’ve seen for the first time in my life …. I keep bowls of nuts out for T & L to snack on and add to their meals. (At this point all my southern friends and family need to cover their eyes) … Thomas added pistachios to his grits this morning … Said it was pretty and it tasted good! Okay my sweet little man! You go Thomas!

Congratulations Thomas!! Today is his 90th day taking a photo a day of a LEGO photographer taking a photo! His teacher was thrilled to hear about this and wanted him to present to his class about it; which he did this morning. His classmates had thoughtful questions and gave him glowing compliments. Great reward for sticking with it.

Some of his photos are on the Center for Adaptive Riding website and the USPS is going to feature one in their social media! Beautiful things happen when we take inspired action! 275 more days to go! Here’s the video we created for him to present …

Thomas opened the door for a lady today. She said something like, “Blessings to you all day today.” He told me this as we were driving off and wanted to know why she said that to him. I told him it was because he did something kind by opening the door for her (during a hail and thunderstorm) and sometimes people bless others who are kind to them.

He says, “Well if it’s that easy to be kind and be blessed, why don’t more people do it?” …… I think that there are small acts of kindness going on by the second, all around us. I also think that sometimes we have lost ourselves in thought, are not being mindful, and simply may not notice. Here’s to being mindful and noticing … and spreading kindness … and LOVE! xoxo
