A window to my world.

Why can't swing sets, merry-go-rounds, teeter-totters and tether ball all be used to generate power for schools? The kids could "do their part" to help out, it would help with obesity and perhaps earn some type of tax credits! Let kids burn energy while they produce it. This would give children a sense of pride and "team spirit". How about this for a slogan, "Go Green, Go Lean, Go Play".

When I first started to write a blog I was a little leery, not sure how it would go over among regulars, as I have found sometimes cliques develop on some sites. Not on ViroPOP, people here are so friendly and open to what you have to say.


You can imagine then how I felt when I w… Continue

At times I find myself unarmed when it comes to discussions with people, we may not have all the answers but, taking a step in the right direction is always a good start. Today, I had two conversations that bothered me, and frankly left me feeling drained of my energy. So how do you deal with negative people who only see "the problems"? I'd love to know how you'd handle it.

My first conversation was this morning, I was sitting waiting for the school bus, we live in a rural area where people hav… Continue
