Wisdom...

We've had several discussions around our home lately...the most recent happened earlier this week after the bombing at the Boston Marathon.  Sometimes I don't even know what to say to my kids...because they and their children are going to have to live in a world that is so foreign to what my life has been like.

With all the school shootings, bombings and other sickening acts I'm not always sure of how to prepare them...but then I come across ideas from other mothers as they post on their blogs.  Their words of wisdom and insight give me ideas of what to say to my kids and I am appreciative of being able to access the wisdom of mothers who no longer are alive...like this from Mr. Rogers mom...


“’When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.’ ~Mr. Rogers.

I copied another mom's blog where she talked about being the "light" and how for every act of unkindness and cruelty, she would do 100 kind acts.

Grateful for other minds who share their great wisdom with mom's like me....
