Peace Is A Choice Buckets of Tears

Peace Is A Choice

This blog is my experiment with how my own small and everyday choices for peace impact my life and others. One of my past accomplishments is winning an award from the American Montessori Society for my master's thesis, titled, "Implications of Peace in the Montessori Environment." So I've been thinking about this idea of seeking peace in my daily environment for a while, now I invite you to think about it with me. I hope you will share with me your thoughts about the experiment and any thing you observe about what is happening regarding peace in your own life.

Buckets of Tears

Tonight my husband and I took out a friend to dinner, someone we don’t usually get to spend time with but someone we enjoy talking with. It was kind of a spur of the moment thing we were just looking for someone to hang out with and since we knew our friend’s roommate had recently moved out we thought he might appreciate some company, and a free meal.

This is a good time of the year to open up your eyes wide and look around for people that might be slipping through the cracks, the ones that seem fine but maybe are not doing so well, people that may be lonely or sad or in need of some encouragement. Smiles can often disguise buckets of tears that are only tipped out when no one is around.
