and enjoying diversity

Diversity
Variety
Different
Assorted
Unique
Contrasting

I love people (well, not all, but most). 

Isn't it wonderful how people come in all shapes, sizes, hair color, skin color, vocal accents, job abilities and talents? What a boring world it would be if we were all exactly the same. 

That's it ... really ... just hoping to encourage others to appreciate people no matter their station in life or their ethnic background. The size of a bank account is of no importance to anyone other than the person who can sign the checks. The diploma on the wall doesn't make one person superior to another.

Do more than tolerate differences --- Embrace them!


Maybe not ALL people, but you know I love you .......

and remembering Mrs. Eppler

Okay, there is no reason any of you should know who Mrs. Eppler is was. She was the wonderful, loving lady who taught my Grammar class when I was in the 4th grade. She instilled a love of the English language that extends to this day. Unfortunately, I don't always remember everything she tried to teach the class, but I do remember that everything ... and I do mean EVERTHING ... she taught us was important and I respected her then as I have every Grammar / English / Literature / Composition teacher I have had since those days at Sam Rosen Elementary.

Perhaps some of you didn't have a wonderful teacher who could change your life. So sad for you! The following won't help with punctuation, but hopefully it will help with word usage. I only do this for you because I care. AWWWW, we know that isn't true. I provide this for you so when I read things from you, it won't drive me crazy that you used the wrong their / they're / there.
Love you all ...
How much?
BUNCHES!!!
