In Praise of Fathers
Here’s to all of the men out there
who have spent most of their adult days
providing for their children,
financially, emotionally and as role models,
so that they can grow up
feeling loved and important.
We are very grateful.
Happy Father’s Day!!
…Thanks Dad!

The Tree, The Apple, The Distance
As a parent, as all parents, I have tried to instill my values in my children.
I have spoken to them countless times about the environment and our part in protecting it.
About good nutrition, although I admit, I am not the best role model at the moment – chocolate, yum! – potato chips, equally yum!
About smoking and drugs and the dangers to their health.
About how to treat people with equality and kindness.
And I have tried to model those values on a daily basis.
So, I am proud to report that my eldest apple has not fallen far from the tree.
A budding journalist, for her first-ever post as Postscript Editor of her university paper, she chose to write about…Positivity.
I couldn’t be more proud.
Please take a moment to read her take on positivity in the wake of misfortune or tragedy. here
And thanks to the trees from which I too have not fallen far,
for most of my values are theirs.
When have you noticed or experienced a positive outcome after a negative event? Please share it below.
