This was part of my daughter’s school work* last week:
What about the thing that I am certain will happen today?
I will have a rough blood sugar roller coaster. – nope.
That’s not a certainty. Today’s been pretty mellow, to be honest.
The temperature will be exactly 72 degrees and sunny today – nope.
I live in New England. There isn’t a temperature certainty to be found any day of the year.
I won’t make any of my own insulin today. – yes!
That’s a certainty. I won’t make a drop of insulin (my c-peptide levels are undetectable). But it’ll be okay. I feel pretty certain about that. It’s going to be okay.
(* The crossed out “duh” is my favorite.)
I am certain to laugh tomorrow, I laugh everyday. Even days that seem bad i find something to laugh at.
I like laughing, a lot.
Interesting thoughts. How true. Thanks so much for writing Kerri
LOL. The crossed out ‘duh’ is the best! I bet the teacher chuckled.
🙂
The crossed out duh is funny!!
The simplicity of the homework is kind of a pleasant gentle reminder. We all have a thing, or things, we can be certain about. Even if some might be more of an opportunity than others, there’s always a positive in our day, and that helps to find a happy balance! Thanks for sharing this.
Nice Post 😀
