Easter Message from Pope Francis: Calls for Peace
You can have flaws, be anxious, and ever angry, but do not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can stop it from going bust. Many appreciate you, admire you and love you. Remember that to be happy is not to have a sky without a storm, a road without accidents, work without fatigue, relationships without disappointments.To be happy is to find strength in forgiveness, hope in battles, security in the stage of fear, love in discord. It is not only to enjoy the smile, but also to reflect on the sadness.It is not only to celebrate the successes, but to learn lessons from the failures.It is not only to feel happy with the applause, but to be happy in anonymity.
Being happy is not a fatality of destiny, but an achievement for those who can travel within themselves. To be happy is to stop feeling like a victim and become your destiny's author. It is to cross deserts, yet to be able to find an oasis in the depths of our soul. It is to thank God for every morning, for the miracle of life. Being happy is not being afraid of your own feelings. It's to be able to talk about you.

It's to be able to talk about you.
It is having the courage to hear a "no". It is confidence in the face of criticism, even when unjustified. It is to kiss your children, pamper your parents, to live poetic moments with friends, even when they hurt us. To be happy is to let live the creature that lives in each of us, free, joyful and simple. It is to have maturity to be able to say: "I made mistakes". It is to have the courage to say "I am sorry". It is to have the sensitivity to say, "I need you". It is to have the ability to say "I love you". May your life become a garden of opportunities for happiness ... That in spring may it be a lover of joy. In winter a lover of wisdom. And when you make a mistake, start all over again. For only then will you be in love with life. You will find that to be happy is not to have a perfect life. But use the tears to irrigate tolerance. Use your losses to train patience. Use your mistakes to sculpter serenity. Use pain to plaster pleasure. Use obstacles to open windows of intelligence. Never give up .... Never give up on people who love you. Never give up on happiness, for life is an incredible show.*
(Pope Francis).

How can we make better use of summer vacation for our kids
Dear folks.... pls read... its for your kids...involve and teach the kids few life skills to manage themselves...
Summer vacations are around the corner.
Parents are busy searching for suitable camps for children .
Almost 2 months break...
Art, theatre, Football, basketball, robotics, dance, nature walk, cooking, painting...So many options...
Interested parents should also include the following in the list:
1. My child this time will learn to wash his plate.
A 12 yr girl last time shocked me when I asked her to put the plate in the sink by saying ' oh sorry aunty. I did not know this is my duty. At my house, either maid or ma takes it..'
2. My child, every morning will learn to fold his bedsheets and and arrange the pillow and bed.
3. During this 2 months period, my child will learn to eat what I cook instead of what he likes to eat.
4. My child, will gather his friends, and go for evening walks, introduce themselves to neighbors and people playing in the garden.
5. My child, along with his friends will make lemonade after their outdoor play.
6. He has few cousins at my hometown. When he is going to visit them, he is taking only one set of toys, not 3 sets. This time he learns how to share.
7. Instead of going to big cinema halls, he will gather some friends, make a screen in the terrace , hire a projector and watch, it will be an Awesome experience.
8. My child is going to stay with grand parents, uncles and aunts without parents for sometime.
Children are ready to explore. Only the parent's apprehensions blocks them. Without showing them options parents decide children can't or dont stay without them.
9. Children can Make a dollhouse out of cardboard .
10. Children can Make kitchen utensils out of real clay.
You will never believe the creativity of our children when you leave them on their own.
11. If they fall sick, let them be healed without any medicine. Can't we wait parents? It's only vacation. Atleast now we can let their immunity work.
12. Let them wake up without alarm, let them go bed after a tiring play.
There is life beyond maths, language , science, art, craft, robotics, handwriting, Olympiads etc..
Waking them up again in the morning, getting them dressed for some classes, making them sit and do activities again, please remember NOT ALL CLASSROOMS HAVE 4 WALLS.
Summer vacation is not only for children, it's for parents who can take time to recharge themselves for the next academic year, take care of their health and mind.
Happy holidays everyone
