When you thought I wasn’t looking?
A message every adult should read because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say...

I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL in the UNIVERSE WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS, BUT THINK THAT NO ONE EVER SEES.
LITTLE EYES SEE ALOT!!
Each of us (parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, teachers, friends) ALL influence the life of a child.
How will you touch the life of someone today?

Quote:
“The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.” ~Robert Louis Stevenson
