There is so much to learn when looking at life through the lens of children. “Kindness rocks”.

The first large rock on the right is a picture of me..

The rock on the left is about me and how people work through the hard things in my office. Clearly, I ran out of Kleenex tissues again. I probably need to get larger supplies of tissues and hand sanitizer.
