Setting the tone for today!

Happy Wednesday!  Although in Florida it's ridiculous cold (for us), I can only imagine what it would be like during this horrible freezing weather to live above the Georgia line. Here's a quote passed on from one educator to the next...


"I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration, I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized. If we treat people as they are, we make them worse. If we treat people as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.”  Goethe
