The Health and Happiness Blog. Monday, May 27, 2013. Here is an essay that I found on the internet that was written in 2001 by Ali M, 3rd Grader, Academy Elementary School, Madison, Connecticut.

The Health and Happiness Blog: Broken Chairs
http://laurakastamo.blogspot.com/2013/11/broken-chairs.html
The Health and Happiness Blog. Monday, November 11, 2013. It seems like every other day I find something broken around this house. A broken toy, basket, dish. A broken vintage chair. No one seems to know how any of these things broke. I cried about the chair. Aren't we supposed to take care of the things God gave us? I'm wondering if we have too many 'things' and we just don't care anymore. What's the big deal? Just get a new one! After I found the broken chair, I threatened to get rid of EVERYTHING!

The Health and Happiness Blog. Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Oh To Sing A New Song! Checking my to-do list again and wondering if everything will get done in time for our Thanksgiving dininer guests tomorrow. Running to the store to get one more ingredient. Checking my list again! At times, I feel a bit overwhelmed and maybe a teeny bit panicky. I've even stomped about and grumbled under my breath a few times. Sometimes feeling a little overworked and underpaid! It's time I start singing a new song!

The Health and Happiness Blog. Sunday, September 22, 2013. Our Lesson on Joy. I flip the pages of this precious Book, this Book that breathes Life, in search of those precious words written in red. Just the sound of it fills my heart with such gladness. I use my best handwriting to copy it onto our kitchen blackboard and wonder at the love that overflows from it. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.". Our Dear Jesus, our Lord and Savior.

The Health and Happiness Blog. Friday, July 4, 2014. Happy Birthday, America! America, the Beautiful. O beautiful for spacious skies. For amber waves of grain,. For purple mountain majesties. Above the fruited plain! God shed His grace on thee,. And crown thy good with brotherhood. From sea to shining sea. O beautiful for heroes proved. In liberating strife,. Who more than self their country loved. And mercy more than life! May God thy gold refine,. Till all success be nobleness,. And ev'ry gain divine.

http://laurakastamo.blogspot.com/2013/10/my-super-simple-health-fitness-plan.html
The Health and Happiness Blog. Tuesday, October 15, 2013. My Super Simple Health and Fitness Plan. I am trying to not be so preoccupied with health and fitness. I do not want it to take precedent over more important things like spending time on building relationships, especially with God and those He gave us to love. So, here is my plan:. 1) I get up early so I can 'hem' my day in prayer and read a little scripture (t. His is the number one thing that has helped me with my day! While the laundry is going.
