Wow, Students! Did you ever inspire me!! Thanks so much for all your wonderful messages. You are right ~ blogging is really fun and not nearly so scary as I thought!
This month in our classes we have been discussing feelings. I've been thinking a lot about this subject and am wondering if you have any feelings that cause you problems. When I was a child, I used to worry a lot. That feeling brought me a lot of sadness. I used to worry that I might get really sick or that my parents would get a divorce. I also used to worry a lot about our country and war. My mother used to tell me that most of the time the things you worry about never come true. Guess what? She was right!!! If I had spent more time doing fun things and less time worrying that something bad was going to happen, I would have been happier.
Do you have feelings that get in your way of being happy?
Yes,I have one that is worrying thust like you.

Yes by the way I do have problems that get in the way of me having a good day. Almost
everyday there is a problem. But if I talk
to one of my friends they will help me feel
better.

Sometimes I worry about a lot of things that aren't important, but when I get over it seems silly.
