This is a good thing to remember. Thanks.<br /><br />Corine - I already said what I wanted to before about AOGG on your blog, but it's so true...the sun will come up again tomorrow.<br /><br />Thanks for coming by; thanks for commenting.Teachinfourthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624243991120542485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-33250792763639892802009-09-30T21:12:36.753-06:002009-09-30T21:12:36.753-06:00Wow!

Attitude is truly what makes us rise, or fall. <br /><br />I have sabotaged my own life so many times, simply by having a bad attitude about myself; I am through! Scraping the floor is nothing like soaring in the heavens!<br /><br />PS. I do think it is human nature to be like those balloons, rising with the warm sun and falling with the cool of the sunset. How great it is to know that the warm sun will always rise again after each cold night; and that even though we fail to STAY afloat, and find ourselves sinking with despair at times - we too, can get back up and “rise and shine” at the start of each new day. :D Perhaps I'll post something recently I wrote about this.<br /><br />PS Thanks for your great "Rise and Shine" example! :DCorine Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05353150427363546277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-80259075253607870272009-09-30T19:17:10.467-06:002009-09-30T19:17:10.467-06:00'Make it a great day or not, the choice is you...'Make it a great day or not, the choice is yours' is a saying that the principal at the local high school says every day to the students. I've used it several times and kept it as my motto. I might have to add your motto to it too.

I also know at least one of your students who could likely remain aloft simply from the influence of your attitude in the classroom.<br /><br />Rise on!Gerbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13103247512887532095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6995141851588869087.post-90279514721580877942009-09-29T12:50:07.621-06:002009-09-29T12:50:07.621-06:00I won't look at a balloon the same way again. ...I won't look at a balloon the same way again.
