Blather. Rinse. Repeat.: WARNING:

I had to post this because I'm an Ed major ... and I have teacher friends and family.

This was just too good not to post ... but there is some PG-rated language and one, um, rude hand gesture.

But this guy, Taylor Mali, is pretty amazing.

Word.

(Note: I nabbed this from Elizabeth Bird's Video Sunday blog feature at School Library Journal. Just thought I'd give her the credit she deserves.)

Words I need to live by:

"Worrying is like praying for things you don't want to happen."

"If a problem can be solved, there is no use worrying about it. If it cannot be solved, worrying will do no good."

You can't please everybody all of the time. So learn to do what's right and be cool with that.

"The most important thing she'd learned over the years was that there was no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one." -- Jill Churchill

All is well.

"I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggone it, people like me!!"

"Be kind to everyone you meet, for they are all fighting some battle unknown to you."

"My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness." -- the Dalai Lama.
