Feel The Love

Teacher-me…

Loved bulletin boards…loved creating bulletin boards…offered to do extra bulletin boards in hallways…spent hours in the 1980s with cray-pas, tagboard, and the overhead projector…

Saw a suggestion once that bulletin boards should lose the fluff—be interactive teaching tools…great idea, but nah; teacher-me used hers to encourage, lift up, or just bring a smile…

And so it was…looked up above the fridge and saw a bulletin board…well not really a bulletin board, but had the vibe of a bulletin board…

Daily affirmations, on the back of the Cheerios box…hadn’t noticed them before…maybe going-into-the-kitchen-me never looks up…who knows…but suddenly, the two of us, connected…

Your Best Is Good Enough…”Yes, Cheerios! Yes, it is!!!”

Believe In Yourself…”I Do, Cheerios! I do!”

You Make The Day Brighter…”Duh, Cheerios, duh. That goes without saying.”

And so it is, in life…we all need someone to cheer us on…keep us going…and if you need a little more than just a Sis, Boom, Bah…flip that box over…and feel the love…

Cheerios…CHEERios…kind of embarrassed to admit one of us never looked at it that way…but you know what they say…or at least what that box of affirmations says…

You Grow And Learn Every Day…
