Hi D,

I’m sorry you are having trouble sleeping at night.

Pills are probably not a good idea long term.

than any sleep tape I tried.

“Today I am grateful for those who know that children cannot learn properly on an empty stomach, and even more grateful for those who organize to do something about young empty stomachs! See my guest post below for details.”

Breakfast for Learning | April 2013 Chances are some of the children you saw going to school today were HUNGRY. Many Canadians don’t know that more than 1 in 3 children in Canada go to school without breakfast each day. Yet, the consequences of this unseen problem are very evident in the classroom.  More » Help end child hunger!  “At Morris School in Manitoba the breakfastprogram aims to serve up more than a healthy meal. With fundingand support from Breakfast forLearning, the program has created a true community within the school …”  More »

We were standing in the long last-minute Christmas lineup at the post office in South Jordan, Utah, USA. 

I was looking at the mailing boxes for sale in the post office when I spotted a big brown bubble envelope slumped out of sight where it was not likely to be noticed. I brought it to my wife Jeannette.

I told Jeannette that I wasn’t sure what to do with it. Obviously it had been dropped or forgotten.

It was addressed to the grandkids in Seattle, Washington, USA, return-addressed from “Grandpa” at a local street address. No postage stamps on it.

Jeannette said, “It’s for Christmas clearly. If we take the time to track down “Grandpa” (no name), it’ll be past Christmas.”

Jeannette, who is a softie for grandkids and grandpas, said, “I’m going to mail it, like “Grandpa” intended, so his grandkids will get it for Christmas.”

“But what if…?” I started, ever the possible-problem-oriented. Jeannette raised her hand.

Needless to say, when we got to the head of the long Christmas lineup, she mailed it, happily paying the nine-dollar postage.

That’s my sweetheart! Mrs. Santa Claus for sure!

P.S. Reminds me of the “Random Acts of Kindness” movement, eh?

Here’s a touching tribute to his Mom from one of my grown up Sons.

Moms sometimes wait years for this kind of ROI (Return on Investment):

Thank you for posing for a picture with me (as an infant, peacefully sucking my pacifier/soother) in your arms and you in the brown chair. Thank you even more for the re-enactment picture 17 years later while I borrowed my nephew’s soother.

Thank you for my intelligence and good looks.
