Voting is Tuesday

I'm being really confusing, I know.
It is on Tuesday, April 28,
that the division Tiffany is in will be posted
on the website http://www.giveawaytoday.blogspot.com/
So, I guess you can't vote until then.
If you're wondering what in the world I'm
talking about, read yesterday's entry.

And, on the testing front.
Other than a few computer glitches,
the testing seems to be going well.
And since school's over, and I'm still here,
I'll post from here.

There are several great quotes on signs
that are hanging in the classroom.
My favorite is this:

THE LITTLE THINGS*

THE LITTLE MOMENTS*

THEY AREN'T
LITTLE.

I am reminded of that thought every time I attend a funeral
and the speakers talk of what they loved about the person.
It is usually not the big, grand, amazing things that
make a difference in individual lives.
It is the small, everyday, "validating," things
that people remember.

Yet, I know that sometimes I am so caught up in
the "right now" or "getting things done"
that I forget that.

A good reminder, about the little things being the big things. I needed that.
