I was on the bus this morning running late for work and frantic in quit a hurry. Dai and I sat in the very front seat and across the aisle from us I noticed a blind man that would look over an smile occasionally at dai and I. Dai kept sittin on the wall behind the driver seat ad slidin down and I kept tellin him stop and to not do it. Then he was askin questions like "mom where is everybody goin" I told him "well dai everybody here has a place to go some are goin to school some to work and some are just goin other places." after tellin him he better get down or that cop he just pointed out is goin to be mad at him for not sittin on his butt. The blind man looks over to me and says "you know you and your son remind me of something I wrote as a child. Instead of doin chores my grandma would have me write and I wrote to her. "we need to plant seeds in our children's heads that are positive and that can blossom. A childs mind is fertal and it doesn't have weed killer. Just as the positive things we teach our children blossom so do the negative things. That's why we keep our children around positive people so there minds blossom that way." I smiled and told him thank you for sharing that with me and I told him that it was sweet. He then again looked over at me and said "its good to see the innocence of a child. Though I really can't see him" I have no idea why that story made me think but that man was truely amazing to me and his words spoke a lot of truth. So now I'm actually really calm and a lot less stressed and I thought I'd share. So let's keep planting these positive seeds in our children because as it was said before "we are all meant to shine as children do"
