Here's My Happy Ending you can hear every weekday at 9:40. -Cory Kimm

"Gillian is a seven-year-old girl who cannot sit in school. She continually gets up, gets distracted, flies with thoughts, and doesn't follow lessons. Her teachers worry about her, punish her, scold her, reward the few times that she is attentive, but nothing. Gillian does not know how to sit and cannot be attentive.
When she comes home, her mother punishes her too. So not only does she Gillian have bad grades and punishment at school, but she also suffers from them at home.

One day, Gillian's mother is called to school. The lady, sad as someone waiting for bad news, takes her hand and goes to the interview room. The teachers speak of illness, of an obvious disorder. Maybe it's hyperactivity or maybe she needs a medication.
During the interview an old teacher arrives who knows the little girl. He asks all the adults, mother and colleagues, to follow him into an adjoining room from where she can still be seen. As he leaves, he tells Gillian that they will be back soon and turns on an old radio with music.
As the girl is alone in the room, she immediately gets up and begins to move up and down chasing the music in the air with her feet and her heart. The teacher smiles as the colleagues and the mother look at him between confusion and compassion, as is often done with the old. So he says:
"See? Gillian is not sick, Gillian is a dancer!"
He recommends that her mother take her to a dance class and that her colleagues make her dance from time to time. She attends her first lesson and when she gets home she tells her mother:
"Everyone is like me, no one can sit there!"

In 1981, after a career as a dancer, opening her own dance academy and receiving international recognition for her art, Gillian Lynne became the choreographer of the musical "Cats."
Hopefully all “different” children find adults capable of welcoming them for who they are and not for what they lack.
Long live the differences, the little black sheep and the misunderstood. They are the ones who create beauty in this world. 😇

"I couldn’t find Harley this evening until I looked out on the lake. He was near the middle of the lake herding a little fawn back to the shoreline. Not sure how the fawn got out there but Harley obviously didn’t ask why, he just jumped into action.
Mama did come back

The story continues. This morning Harley got restless running from window to window. I opened the front door and we could hear the fawn bleating. Harley ran into the tree line and found the fawn. The little one stopped bleating, tail wagging, they touched noses sniffed each other and Harley came calmly back to the house with me."

"I would just like to share what I witnessed yesterday morning. I was waiting at the counter for an order and a homeless man asked one of the employees to please fill his half gallon, plastic milk carton with water.

The worker said “what are you going to use it for?” Now I’m jumping the gun in my head, thinking he was going to say that if he wanted it for drinking he has to buy a bottle blah blah blah… The man said “to drink”, the employee told him to “please go over to the cooler and get whatever size water he’d like.” He then filled up the milk carton as requested.
The man thanked the employee for the water but said he was really hungry and could use a meal. The worker Benny said “no problem! What would you like?” The man gave him his order and he got to it with a smile on his face.

I then went over to the register to ask Kathie if I could give her money for him, to use a credit for a few meals. She replied “Janessa, that is so kind, but we feed him whenever he is hungry. He always has a meal here, when he needs.”

They’ve been doing it for years!!! I was really moved by the whole situation. I felt the need to share this. Thank you to businesses who give from the heart, when people are hurting the most, they deserve a shout out.

"My son is struggling right now. He’s back at college for his second semester freshman year. He’s not happy with his roommate situation, he’s not sleeping, he’s finding it hard to be creative with his work (he’s in art school) and he’s miserable. He has a plan in place to transfer, so he knows this is temporary.⁣

My biggest fear when he left for college is that he wouldn’t be happy. (I know we all worry about that). His texts to me about how unhappy he is have made me so sad and make me feel helpless. But my heart is also full, because he called me last night at 1:31 am. He knew I would answer, he knew I would get out of bed (to not disturb hubby) and go downstairs and talk to him for as long as he needed or wanted.⁣

He knew I would hold his heart and hear him out. He knew he could just be silent on the other end and I wouldn’t rush to get him off the phone or to speak. We talked for 37 minutes. He told me he loved me twice and he thanked me for listening. We haven’t always had an easy go of it, but I am so happy he knows I will ALWAYS be there for him.⁣"

Do you judge others for what they’re buying? Was grocery shopping with my mom yesterday and told her 2 things.

1- You can’t hold that like THAT.
2- You can’t buy that when I’m with you. (She didn’t know why and I plan to keep it that way.)

We’ll talk about it at 7:20.

Have a sweet morning friend.

“So this happened. I'm on my way to go to my interview this morning when I get pulled over by a police officer.
I am native American and my friend that was with me is black. Just saying.
Both brake lights decided to go out this time.
As he walked to the car and I was pulling out my stuff, he quickly said,
"Don't worry about pulling anything out. I just want you to know that your brake lights are out."
So I'm immediately upset, because I just got them replaced like last month.
So I explained to him how the garage wants to charge me $600 just to run a test on the wiring of the car.
He looked at me like and told me to pop the trunk.
He checked the lights in the trunk and tapped them, but they didn't come on.
So he told me to pop the hood to check the relay box then asked me to get out to check the other one.
Then worked on the wiring under the dash.
He could've easily given me a ticket, but the Officer stepped out of officer role, and into mechanic role, and human role to make sure I was straight.
By the way HE FIXED THEM."

"Today we went shopping.
The girls had gift cards and they were itching to spend them.
We started at Michaels, and then we headed over to the big Walmart!
Maesie had $50 to spend in a gift card... burning a HOLE, let me tell you...
But you know what she wanted to buy?
She kept thinking about things she could buy her sister.
I told her to hold up for a bit and remember that the card was for her, and not for Trilbi... and she said, "I want to buy her that T-shirt she wants. Really bad..."
So, I thought that once we got into the store, I would then pull her aside and remind her that it would be like giving her birthday present to Tril.
Again, she said, "I WANT to do this, Mom! She want's that shirt so bad!!"
And then I looked at her... like, really looked at her.
She was literally vibrating with excitement! She was so stinking excited to give to her sister, she couldn't care less about not having more for herself.
The T-shirt was bought, there were also a set of rings and earrings for Trilbi, too... and Maesie got what she wanted with the rest of the gift card.
And she was GLOWING... so very happy.
I learned something today about my youngest daughter.
She is generous (already knew), she is spunky (already knew), she takes great joy in thinking of and giving to others (already knew), but what I realized is that giving is so much a part of her love language, and the pleasure she gets from that is so much bigger than a gift for herself... although those are happily received as well.
I think the GIVING of her gift to someone else IS her birthday present.
And she (and I) wouldn't have it any other way...
What a great 'gift' to possess...
So, how about you??
Are you a giver, or a receiver?
Those are my two cents today..."

"A letter to a regular customer.

I wrote this to show how much of an influence regulars can have on customer service workers.
You used to come in every night. We've wondered where you've been. For two weeks, our nights have been silent, bland, without your beautiful face and your colorful dresses and your news about your son's new business venture.
We had your yogurts ready. Ample matcha for your drink.
But you stopped coming.
Tonight, your friend came in. Asked if I knew the girl with the flowy textured cotton dresses.
And told me you'd passed away.
You were homeless. But you didn't let us know.
You came to us every day for months, and sat and talked with us.
Every night, you'd go around the store, collecting cups, plates, straw wrappers from the floor. You were nothing but smiles around us.

Every single night, you stayed until we closed. We close earlier than any other location in town, but you stayed with us because you liked us.
You struggled with your mind, as many do.
But with us, you never let it show.
You were such a strong woman, and I don't want to believe that you're gone. That news might have been the hardest I've ever heard.
You even gave us new scissors, because you bought a pack of two... and when you asked us for scissors... to open yours... You were appalled at how crappy the ones we had to use were.
You had a heart of gold.
My shift and I made your drink one last time tonight, just the way you like it. An iced venti green-tea latte with ten scoops of matcha, right on top of the ice, with a dome lid.
I always thought it was odd, but you said you liked the chunks that the matcha would make.
I poured the milk, and pulled out the container of matcha so I wouldn't get it all over the counter. I went to grab the ice scoop, and I broke down. My supervisor finished it.

The whole night, I looked at the table you always sat at, right in the corner, and you were there smiling at me.
I tried your drink tonight through tears.
I liked the chunks."

"Have lived with my lady since 1990. Married 31 years and raised 2 great kids who have now moved out. In those 33 years our cutlery drawer has been a hotchpotch of mixed cutlery sets, soup spoons, dessert forks that never got used, plastic kid friendly spoons and stupid, little mixy things the daughter used for protein shakes.
This week I took it upon myself to streamline the drawer and bought 2 matching cutlery sets (on special, of course).
No dessert spoons or metal straws other unnecessary items. Just knives, forks, spoons and teaspoons. The uniformity has given me unbridled bliss. I don't know why I waited this long."
