Throwback Post: Movie Review: The Power of Forgiveness
**THROWBACK POST**
May 14 2016:
Team TLC movie night … “The Power of Forgiveness” –
Thomas’ choice tonight and 2nd time around for this one. Thomas says, “Inspirational, good, emotional, meaningful, thought provoking of good thoughts, great, understandable, enjoyed it.”
Lillian says, “Emotional, meaningful and good.”
I say, “Yes, powerful, yes.” “Forgiveness allows us to actually let go of the pain in the memory, and if we let go of the pain in the memory, we can have the memory, but it doesn’t control us. When the memory controls us, we are then puppets of the past.” ~Alexandra Asseily

I have a very important appointment at 1:30 today. I get to be treated to tea by the amazing dude I get to call my son and his awesome classmates! xoxo
Greeted at the door, taken to a seat, served a beverage and food and then entertained with poetry from each child! YAY!!!!
“Why would someone sell something that doesn’t work just to make money?” -Thomas … In a book he’s reading right now (Johnny Swanson), one of the characters discovered a cure for heartburn and began to sell it. His family needed the money. We were talking about it and then Thomas turned the conversation to the above statement … he wasn’t really asking me a question, just making a statement. He keeps me smiling …

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 …

Love Inspires .. Love lifts the brain fog, releases creativity, energizes, and allows opportunity. Yesterday I was in Kohl’s using a $20 coupon and the gentleman in front of me gifted me the remainder of the $10 coupon he had just used, I forgot my grocery list and remembered all but one item on it, I found a nickel on the ground (heehee), Thomas’ friend gave us a half dozen eggs again (just had them for breakfast .. YUM), and I danced in the rain. Love Inspires …
