INSPIRATIONAL THREAD

joanlawson

Hi

I thought that it might be a nice idea to have a place where we can post any inspirational thoughts/ quotes/ music/ pictures etc. I will begin:

Take Time to Laugh: It is music of the soul.
Take Time to Play: It is the source of perpetual youth.
Take Time to Pray: It is the greatest power on Earth.
Take Time to Love and be Loved: It is a God given priviledge.
Take Time to be friendly: It is the road to happiness.
Take Time to Give: It is too short a day to be selfish.

Hi cebeem, and thank you for your reply.

I agree with your quote, and you must have lots of enthusiasm to survive school camp :!: Just hold on to the thought that the kids will probably remember this for years to come. You are doing a great job :!:

I would make it a large wine if I were you :!: :!: You have earned it

What age are the kids :?: I used to teach primary-age, and have been on many school trips in my time, so I know only too well how exhausting, but also rewarding, it is.

Have fun :!: :!: :!:

Hi Berty

That sounds like a good piece of 'Mum' logic

My Mum used to say,'' Don't worry, it'll all come out in the wash''

Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.

~Lord Byron (1788-1824) English Poet

more; talk less, listen more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.”

Inspirational thoughts from Winnie the Pooh

"Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known."

"Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day."

"You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes."

"If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."
