Day 23 of 40

Today's Chapter is "How We Grow". From the book ; The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren.
"The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act."
For me, that directly interfears which the 100 children in my after school program.  I learned first hand how my attitude and feelings were being watched a lot more than ya think.  All hundred see everything, and just like they do with their parents, they absorb a small part of your life style.
