Isn't it great to see life lessons all around us - to draw a parallel and understanding from something even as small but teachable as 'Choose your own Adventure'. Way to always be helping your class try to grasp and see the bigger picture around them.summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12637604393000446068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-72180623464589821312008-11-15T21:11:00.000-07:002008-11-15T21:11:00.000-07:00Son,Your so right, life is an adventure and we pic...Son,<BR/>Your so right, life is an adventure and we pick and choose the outcome of our lives. My dad left this earthly life just when I was beginning my teens. What a great loss for our family. I started making decisions for myself trying to gain wisdom from others so not to make mistakes. <BR/><BR/>As a young unskilled father I made many mistakes. Mistakes can be good if we learn from them and grow to become a better person. In my world I was the provider and protector and was mostly living in the future...worrying about many different things and what I could do to get my children educations finish building our home and how could I really retire someday. I lost precious family moments that were lost forever.<BR/><BR/>You have a great heart, part you inherited, but mostly because of the choices you have made. Each of my children have gifts and talents that I can be proud of. <BR/><BR/>Our choices in life become actions we take, and can only be gauged by the end results. If those end results weren't a wise decision we need to learn and correct our behavior without beating ourselves up.<BR/><BR/>My family has blessed my life so much...I'm thankful for having the opportunity to learn from my mistakes. As you say "Choose your own adventure...but please choose wisely. I can't be too far off the path because I still love when my children call me DAD.mywesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566937354854110779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-50100505974419158982008-11-15T15:38:00.000-07:002008-11-15T15:38:00.000-07:00I have never read one of those books.

I read them when I was younger, but didn't know they still existed. What a great way to introduce these books to your "kids".Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525614344248184110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-31853694720059364022008-11-15T11:07:00.000-07:002008-11-15T11:07:00.000-07:00Jason...you're so awesome! :DI LOVED those books w...Jason...you're so awesome! :D<BR/>I LOVED those books when I was growing up, and I had thought of them like the decisions in life, but you put things SO WELL!Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825602177314310172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-868710073251050332.post-87741111487130039512008-11-15T01:57:00.000-07:002008-11-15T01:57:00.000-07:00First things first........I LOVED Choose Your Own ...First things first........<BR/><BR/>I LOVED Choose Your Own Adventures and actually still have some originals in my book collection in my office.......<BR/><BR/>Second, your thoughts on being a coach and the player not listening....my exact feelings today with one of my kids....so frustrating and so sad...I keep waiting for him to look up.<BR/><BR/>Third, I love the way you talk to your kids, not at them and not like they are too immature to get what you are saying. <BR/><BR/>Too bad for the kids in AZ---we could use you here, teaching "my" kids....you'd be great to work with....<BR/><BR/>Have a fabulous night....<BR/><BR/>~meMindyEliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972004114168201876noreply@blogger.com
