Warm Turbulanced

I have been experiencing some turbulence in my relationships with people who, I think, have not been too sensitive to me. But I’m not going to wear my heart on my sleeve here. Just a piece of my mind about how the experience has brought me into some level of understanding. Like most of the people I met and meeting, I used to respond to situations, mostly with my feelings. I assembled my emotional life around the behavior of other people towards me, which empowered them to be more in control of my life. When someone stepped on my toe, I would instantly mutter vindictively, cuss that careless passerby and throw a venomous tiger look. When someone lied to me, I told him to go to hell, so he could bring the devil a walking turd. When someone said I looked horrible, I told her she looked like a hag. When someone commented I am too fat, I told her, you are the richest woman walking on earth with no amount of water in your body as you face like a dried bark. When someone breaks my heart, I also smashed his/hers. But when someone gave me a piece of bread, I gave them something to drink. When someone say I looked good, I respond with a similar flattery. When someone made me laugh, I exerted effort to make the person happier. Remember my treatment towards you will be the result of how you treated me. Mirror reflects the same image just so you know.

Plate Of Plenty

If you don't feel like eating, think of them! This photo has so much pain. 😒 Food is life, but brain fog for an ungrateful heart. If you don't like what's on your plate, don’t toss it aside, don’t seal its fate. Each morsel holds a story, a journey begun, A gift from the earth, a battle won. Imagine a morning when the table is bare, what will you do when hunger calls loud, No bread, no fruit, just an empty stare. The abundant meals and the warmth of a feast, All vanish in silence and hunger unleashed. When a pantry is empty, and your stomach aches. Don't dare to wish! So, before you discard what you do not desire, think of the hands that toiled, the hearts that inspire. Each bite is a blessing, a chance to reflect on those who have little, on lives we protect. So, savor the flavors, let gratitude flow, For the food on your table, let appreciation grow. For one day you may wake, a...

Gratitude for Provided Lunch

Why We Need to Stop Wasting Our School Lunch Recently, a teacher raised a frustrating concern: students are throwing away the school-provided lunches. It’s a tough conversation, but it is one we need to have. The lunch provided by the PSS (Public School System) is a privilege. Many communities and organizations do not have the resources to offer free daily meals, and we are fortunate to have this support. Being thankful for what we receive creates a better school environment and shows appreciation for the staff who work hard to feed us every day. If you don't want to eat your meal, please do not throw it in the trash. Give it to a classmate who wants it. Consistently discarding food creates negative feedback that could jeopardize the entire lunch program. If we want this program to survive, we need to adapt. That means being willing to eat fruits and vegetables, rather than just sticking to the usual foods we prefer. This program is an opportunity to build healthier eating habi...
