Story of a child
feeling grateful for his teacher
Class Teacher! Today, boys and girls, we're going to take a few minutes and draw on the pieces of paper in front of you something or someone you are grateful for. Taking the time for gratitude is so important for our peace of mind and our happiness, and it's a great way to remind ourselves how lucky we are for what we have and who we have in our lives.
Afterwards, we're going to share what we've drawn with the rest of the class. Let's begin.
Wonderful class! Now, who would like to come up first and share what you're grateful for? Sara, come on up.
"I'm thankful for cats because they give me company," Sara shared.
That's wonderful, Sara. Thank you so much. Who would like to go next?
"I'll go," Jason said as he came up. "I'm grateful for parents because without them, I wouldn't even be here. And they also help me with my homework. Plus, I love them chocolate."
"Thank you, Jason," the teacher replied. "Rebecca, why don't you come up next?"
As the sharing continued, Simon was called up to share what he was grateful for.
As Simon came up nervously, (he drew a picture of a hand)
the teacher suggested, "How would you like to play a game with your classmates to see if they can guess whose hand you drew? Would you like that?"
Simon nodded in agreement, and the game began.
"I think it's the hand of a policeman because they protect us and keep us safe," one student guessed.
"I think it's Simon's hand because he's grateful to have his hand," another student suggested.
"Is that the hand of God?" another student pondered.
"It's your hand, Miss Sanders," Simon revealed, surprising the class.
"Let us be grateful not just for the material things given to us, but for the small ways that we give something to others," Miss Sanders, the class teacher, expressed.
Gratitude is a powerful emotion that can bring us peace and happiness. Taking the time to reflect on what we are thankful for helps us appreciate the blessings we have in our lives. So, take a moment to show gratitude, not just today, but every day.

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.

Kissing Cindy
TAUGHT YOUNG Happily ever after was never what she was chasing. Cindy’s stepmother made certain of that. Jealous of a child who still believed in rescue, she taught Cinderella early that princes were not saviors; they were opportunities. That love, once offered, became leverage, and in a kingdom built on power, leverage was everything. She was taught to break hearts the way others broke bread: deliberately, without apology, and always to survive. The woman who taught her to wield love as a weapon would later frame her as a sunset of darkness for using it too well. Beautiful, blamed, and accused of causing darkness.
