Election 2016 WOW!!

         Hello to my friends and students.....I don't know about you but I stayed up to 4 to see the whole show....My first reaction was one of surprise -but as a independent I had already listed the pros and cons of both people....Plus I never totally loved or hated either person.....So I then thought about what we tell the kids...Do your BEST and then ACCEPT the outcome....So I am looking forward to less grid lock in Washington and I am hoping that the CHANGE that will be coming-will be the change we all benefit  from....                                                                                                                              Now I do understand that we need some time to adjust and get over our expectations and our fears.....The people who think they are WINNERS need to be tolerant of the people who think they  LOST.....We all have to remember that we are in this TOGETHER and we all benefit when we work as a TEAM....So I would say  "Take a Breath"     No gloating from the Trump people and no crying and anger from the Hillary supporters...........   We need to unite and take care of our Country and our Families and ourselves and EACH OTHER.....Remember   "He who angers you also conquers  you"                             Peace and love     Sifu Mike

Words to think about!?

Happy June to all my friends....As you know my favorite words to live by are the: "Golden rule" and the " Serenity prayer"     I also have a few more that I would like to add.   GET from the day-not through it!    Do what we can with what we have NOW!    The aim of a argument or discussion should NOT be victory-but Progress.    Sometimes its better to be nice -not always RIGHT.   And one more if you are having any on going difficulties??     Can you change it?  Can you make it better?  Can you remove yourself from the issue?  If the answer to the three questions are NO....then its time to ACCEPT.......Peace and Love     Sifu Mike

happy Mothers day

  Lets take the time to pay respects to our Moms....If they are still alive-make sure you show some love-make sure you make contact-make sure you tell them what is needed to say! before they are not here.....Flowers are nice but a heartfelt call or letter would really make your Moms day...To the people who have lost their Moms-remember that they will still hear a prayer....To the people who have not forgiven their Moms-remember she did give you LIFE.....And if you are a MOM   please give yourself a big smile/hug to celebrate what you have done for the world......Ciao   Sifu Mike
