Help from Debbie I am a teacher and have been for over 20 years. I know that a parent's most important job is to raise children who can competently take care of themselves. Working in a Montessori school has enlightened me on the value of "Practical Life" skills. We make an effort to teach children to cook, clean, launder, garden, and organize their belongings. I hope the tips written about here will help parents bring up children who are capable of taking care of themselves.

Miracles
I believe in miracles.
First of all, it is a miracle that we are all here, living on and sharing this planet at this point in time.
Whatever our differences, it is up to each one of us to create and live worthy lives. Our lives should in some way benefit others. Many people are doing just this. This is a miracle.
The stars are a miracle. The fact that they exist, that mankind has always been dazzled by them, and that they create all the elements that make up you and I is a miracle. We are made of stardust so shine brightly.
The water cycle, the life cycle of a frog and a butterfly, the cycle of the seasons, are all miracles. If you look at these cycles, you can see the sense in the saying "what goes around, comes around." Cycles are miracles, so be mindful of what you put out to the universe every day, it may come back to you.
Happiness is a miracle. Life doesn't guarantee joy. So find the things that bring you joy. Moments and memories, friends and family, holidays, hobbies, service to others. I highly recommend service to others if your life is lacking in the miracle of happiness. You will find it, if you give it.
Finally, Love is a miracle. Give this miracle away to everyone you meet. Lead your life by putting love first and you will spread miracles.
Happy Holidays to all of you.
