Some of the things I learned from Jeanne Mount:
You can be totally overwhelmed with tragedy, or you can find ways to rise above even the most impossible circumstances
Spend little time and energy on telling children what they can’t do
Handicapping conditions do not prevent a child from loving and being loved
Be unbelievably non-judgmental because you have no idea what others are struggling with
Make your home mission control where others come, and are refreshed and recharged
Take bitterness and anger out of you heart. It will only hurt you at every level of your being
Be quick to forgive, and also to openly say you are sorry when you hurt another
Laugh frequently, and never lose the little child in you that still sees wonder in the world
Support those that are struggling, and don’t wait to be asked if you can help
Never lose sight of the marginalized and less fortunate
Embrace music because it will lift your soul in times of joy and sorrow
Dedicate your lives to your friends, and be ever grateful for their presence in your life
Try and find goodness in everyone even those that make it nearly impossibl
