Watched Oprah today, Bill Cosby was on and man what he said was so true. I think what he had to say was good for every race to hear and learn from.

Distinguish discipline from punishment.

This is not just a word game. Discipline and punishment really are different things. Discipline may include punishment but aims for a much higher goal. Discipline includes other ways to shape a child's behavior for the long term, not just for the short term. The aim of good discipline is to teach children self-control and the difference between right and wrong, which becomes part of their inner character.

I went to Oprah.com and got that from some good ways to discipline. Love what it says.

I called a hospice to see about their volunteer program. They are finishing up the last class of the year tomorrow. When the woman heard where I'm from, she was so excited, I guess they need volunteers in my area badly. If it's meant to be it'll happen. The thought of me helping someone, keeping them company, or whatever makes me feel good.

Not to cut it short but time for me to go. Blessings
