New Year Goal - Elsie/Jan 2008

I and Elsie changed to meet each other on Sat than Fri after she has promoted to secondary school. I found she is adapting well for her new stage in Form 1. She found that her mother is giving her more choices in selecting and deciding her extra-school activities, agreed to stop KUMON and more. Well, it's a good feedback from lovely daughter for us as a mother to learn.

As I learned that Elsie has never worked on any yearly goal planning, I suggested to work with her for one. I think a year plan is very useful for anyone to think about what they really want to do and be focus.

Elsie is a fast learner and she knows what she want. What I have done is to help her think more specific and bring an vague idea in to a concrete thought with action plan.

We talked about how to create a balanced life, over there Elsie made small goals on @:

• my character
• my health
• my family
• my school
• my friends
• my hobby
• my money
• my spiritual
• my church

well done, Elsie!!!!!!

Picture Books for the Elders

Since the kick off of this blog, one year has been passed.

I voiced to my BTs on 30th Dec 's QT that, "Why there is no book for the elders?" I mean some easy reading publications with big fonts and illustrations that can inspire the elders for a joyful elder life. Or, could help them to release their life burdens before they will pass away. Somehow to live a happy and personal freedom life as what GGs are doing in our church.

In the same evening, I browsed the internet to search for any existing organizations or groups are having the same vision mission. I am so delighted that I found the ageless-sages which is hosting by my friend, Natalie Tuckle Miller, the president of the IAC, are working on this theme. They suggested that we read picture books to children, why don't we read picture books to elders as well.

I pray for God will lead us to put more faith and action in this aspect.
