I too have gentle reminders. I loved how you use yours. So nice to see you here.

This is such a wonderful post of, like Carol said, turning a negative into a positive and as much as we don't like the negatives they do when we allow them help us to grow leaps and bounds. What a gorgeous collage!Kim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-3123415098507922702014-04-15T08:08:18.867-07:002014-04-15T08:08:18.867-07:00So wonderful to have you back for a visit, Claudia...So wonderful to have you back for a visit, Claudia! Such a beautifully told story and there's a lesson there for all of us -- to be here NOW, in the present, and paying attention and I think photography really teaches us that. Your photos, as always, are beautiful! Hope you will visit again soon!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-60589187174514996712014-04-15T08:00:15.919-07:002014-04-15T08:00:15.919-07:00Welcome back Claudia!

Its such a sad story to know that a teacher would make a student feel ridiculed, and laugh along with the students. I have a similar story, but I could not comprehend anything I read…just focused so hard on the words that I couldn't recall what I had just read. The teacher knew this, and in front of the class would ask me to stand and tell what the short story was about…I didn't have a clue! Great post and beautiful photos, Claudia! Have a wonderful day!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-2368562932235375212014-04-15T07:35:07.613-07:002014-04-15T07:35:07.613-07:00Such a perfect story to illustrate how to take one...Such a perfect story to illustrate how to take one of life's big hurdles and turn it around to become a lifelong, life-enriching mantra.

I can't believe that you are dyslexic - it was your writing on your blog that drew me into blogworld in the first place. And I see that your photography is still gorgeous too. <br />This story reminds me of my sister Cindie - she always thought that forsythia was "for Cynthia" - and I think of her every year when it first blooms! (she is not gone - only living in Chicago ;) - but I do think of her!) <br />Great post - and visit again soon!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.com
