I just have to take a minute to thank all of you wonderful fellow childcare providers for the wonderful support, feedback, sharing that you've provided for me and others. I read this and thought it might brighten someone's day....

TOUCHING THE FUTURE
I don't wear power suits,
make speeches,
or drive a fancy sports car.
I've never talked on a car phone,
made a big sale,
or been elected to the Senate.
I don't "do lunch",
have a big imppressive office or carry a beeper.
I spend my days wiping away tears,
giving hugs,
and serving chicken nuggets.
A good day is when I go through a whole day
without a temper tantrum,
bite mark,
or a toilet training accident.
My "office" is a room full of brightly colored toys
and laughing children.
You may not think that what I do is very important
and you may even whisper behind my back
"what a waste of a good mind."
But I know better.
I make a difference
because I'm changing the world
one child at a time.
Everyday I'm getting the once in a lifetime chance
to touch the future.
I'm proud to say "I'm a child care provider"

Oh thanks for that. Wouldn't it be nice if all the parents thanked us every day, that's all, just 'thank you'.
