To those of you who have been gracious enough to stop by, even in my all to lengthy absence, as well
as to the rest of the PP Poets, I have been compelled to share the following with you.
A HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ONE AND ALL! LOVE, PAM
SEEDS OF THOUGHT
" I have come to the frightening conclusion
That I am the decisive element.
It is my personal approach that creates the climate.
It is my daily mood that makes the weather.
I possess tremendous power to make a life miserable or joyous.
I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.
I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal.
In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated,
and a person humanized or de-humanized.
If we treat people as they are, we make them worse.
If we treat people as they ought to be,
we help them become what they
are capable of becoming. "
