I look and see it there
gently clinging to my wrist.
The delicate gold bracelet
given to me with such love.
My husband on this special day
is so sappy and sweet.
My baby so tiny and new helps to
celebrate this first Mother's Day.
As time passed the bracelet has seen it all.
From the first step, to the first words uttered,
first bike ride, T-Ball games, school and dates,
the bracelet is always nearby.
Time passed in a blink of an eye.
I've seen him grow and change.
Now tall and blonde with eyes green as
emeralds, always on the run with his buddies, sports, work and school.
A new part of his life is about to commence.
He will soon leave for college
with his whole life before him.
I look at the bracelet clinging to my wrist,
thankful he still has more to learn and love to give.
A man stands before me now,
my tiny baby all grown up.
Still I have my precious memories
and the delicate piece of gold,
which will always cling to my heart!

Although Sherri was only seven years old, people always wanted to know
what she wanted to be when she grew up. Her response was easy: a
teacher. She had the perfect picture in her mind what her classes would
look like and how they would behave. The only problem was that she
didn't have any worksheets or materials to give to her imaginary class. In
class she watched the teacher walk over to her file cabinet and throw
mounds of unused worksheets in the trash. "What a waste!" Sherri
murmured to herself. An idea suddenly blossomed in her head. She
would use the worksheets that had ended up in the trash. After school,
when the halls were clear of students and teachers, she sneaked into
Mrs. Smith's class, her first grade classroom and grabbed the discarded
worksheets. Feeling confident that she had accomplished her mission,
she walked around the corner with her new teaching materials under her
arms. A loud, booming voice startled her as the janitor yelled, "What are
you doing here? Go home!" Sherri didn't wait to respond to his questions
as she ran out of the school's front doors. As she walked home, she kept
looking behind her to see if the janitor had followed her. Safely home, she
closed her bedroom door and announced to her imaginary students,
"Good morning, students. Today you are going to learn about nouns and
verbs. I am going to pass out a few worksheets and explain the
assignment to you.”
Sherri can be best described as ___________.
driven

A biological toilet, or composting toilet, isn't hooked up to sewer lines. The unit has a seat and a
lid but not a toilet bowl filled with water. How does it function? First, the waste is deposited into
the unit in the normal way. After that, natural processes take over: ninety percent of the waste is
water, which evaporates into the air. The toilet usually has fans and ventilation to assist in this
process. The solid part of the waste then remains in a chamber, where it decomposes.
Specialized bacteria digest the waste, given the right combination of oxygen, moisture, and
heat. When the decomposition process is complete, the compost from the toilet can be
removed and used in gardens and around trees.

Almost everyone knows what stress feels like: a tight throat, a clenched jaw, trouble
concentrating. On a physical level, whenever your body perceives a threat in the nearby
environment (whether that threat is a friend with whom you've had an argument or a lion on the
Savannah), it releases more of certain hormones, such as cortisol and adrenaline. As a result of
the increase in these hormones, the body devotes less attention to functions like digestion and
more attention to keeping muscles in a state of tension, ready to fight if they need to.
