THE DO BETTER BENCH.....IT'S A NEW YEAR

I began 2014 by sitting on the "Do Better Bench!" You see, I have learned that Luke's class has an actual little bench that is used in place of "time-out!" When life hands you lemons and you are stomping around with a pouty expression, it's time to sit and give thought to your behavior on the "Do Better Bench!" How delightful is that? Why not apply that to our grown-up life and give some thought to the things we wish to change in our brand new year. And, so I began by somewhat simplistic promises I am making to myself....nothing major, nothing that isn't impossible to achieve or those impossible resolutions that fall by the wayside within a few weeks....just doing better in life!

 

A Bad Habit I’m Going to Break
