“I don’t think of the misery but of the beauty that still remains” – Anne Frank
What a truly positive quote to start this Sunday with.
A small girl who inspired so many…
Even through all her sad experiences, her words truly inspired many all these years after they were written. A diary that she probably never thought anyone else would read. She was able to still see the sunshine through the clouds.
A diary is a wonderful thing to keep. I kept many over the years. And this blog is almost a journal of my last couple of years. But the actual actions of writing, physically, in a diary, now that is a skill I believe we should all pass on to our children.
I was so happy that my own two were so excited by their new desks (lovingly built by yours truly!) that they promptly sat down last night and started scribbling away in their own diaries!
And tonight, they were there again…
It makes me proud to know I have somehow managed to foster the love of the written word within my own children, whether it be their own writing or reading books. Who knows… maybe you’ll be reading one of their books!
I’ll leave you with a question Peeps, and in the meantime, have a wonderous Sunday, chilling, just spare a thought for Ritu, tirelessly sorting through boxes……
How have you, or will you encourage your own children, or young people around you?
But I Smile Anyway...
