in tones of blue



























































































i am SO loving, that these photos are singing, in the tones of blue. blue allows me to rest my eyes, it comforts me.
...the sea, a stripe in a flag, the sky, a mood, a song.

today, i have a very important date with my kiddos, we are making flowers out of tissue paper. and drawing funny faces. yep they are both teenagers, and that is the part that warms my heart, the most. : )

one love~

ps: i forgot to mention, that i am just not (always) as nice as i can be, in certain situations. and that SO sucks on my part. ; ( i try though. i am human. i am allowed to be frustrated and mumble really bad words under my breath. blame it on me being a chef. kitchen pressure, ya know. lol besides in the kitchen, i will continue to learn and try my best, on this life journey.
palms clutched to the most high, for loving me through good and bad.
; )


28 ladlefuls of love:

forget about trying to convince others you aren't nice. you are the kindest and most giving person i have ever met. even in the kitchen. LOL

I don't believe it for a second. And if it's true, I bet it's warranted. You're my heroine!

Christina, I wrote about blue today too. That will be fun with your kids. Not one of us is perfect, but you are the closest I know to it. Sometimes we are our own worst critic.hugs to you.

You are the gentlest blogger I've found thus far, but I rather like it that you can mutter under your breath and you can be not nice, too. It's all a part of this wonderful journey and I'm glad I walk with you down this path for a few moments once in awhile.

*Hugs*

Am loving that you are so into your photography.

Liss said...

I want your blue plates the look beautiful :)

Have fun with the kids making paper flowers.

Birdie said...

Christina, look at the love that you put in here :-) even the the most serene and biggest teachers ever had their moments of 'not being so nice', I guess what is important is what we make with these feelings ... blue is a wonderful color ... we just can look at the blue blue sky and we don't need nothing else :-) one love and have a beautiful w-e :-)

Beautiful blues here, my friend!

I loved your reminder about being kind and good in the world. I am so struggling with that right now, work is hard and kind of mean place - need to rise above it!

happy weekend!

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.

Congratulations to the Class of 2010!
