I cannot say enough how much I appreciate all those who teach, work with, and help in the development and well-being of our children. Today I would like to point out the school bus system, both the drivers and those in dispatch for the service they provide us.
Like teachers and many others who have been an extension of my parenting, by offering their guidance and care to my children, particularly when they are away from me; the school bus drivers have also played an important role in the lives of my children. They have echoed my direction to my kids, watched out for them at bus stops, and gone the extra mile in helping with lost items or illness.
As a kid, my first encounter with the school bus was during the days of school bussing back in the seventies in Chattanooga. I rode the bus from then my ninth grade year of middle school through a large part of my high school year. Now having relocated back to Chattanooga from Memphis-three children later, with an 18 and 20 year old now driving cars; I get to experience this special community tradition via my eleven year old son.
I hold in high regard school bus drivers, and offer them my utmost respect. For it is our "precious cargo" (children) that they are carrying to and fro on their bus routes, following a schedule designed to assure that the children arrive at their primary and secondary institutions of learning on time. While doing this, these wonderful drivers must be able to navigate the roads, pedestrians, other drivers, and weather conditions; manage behaviors and the well-being of children; adhere to school policies and bus driving regulations; and secure the safety of everyone on the bus. This is a job not to be taken lightly by the driver...nor anyone else.
The school bus system is another example of how our society advocates community service, education, and the accessibility of families and their children in our education system. These are values that are still a priority in our culture.
I thank God for all of our special gifts and talents, and the different abilities we have each been shaped with that equips for our jobs. I personally do not know if I could be a school bus driver. But I do know that I am so very grateful to those who are. They are truly to be commended for taking on such a serious job and performing it daily.
Would you please join with Sisters In Business in showing appreciation to the school bus driver(s) in our lives during the month of December. Maybe you can send a thank you or holiday greeting card, or some other token of appreciation before school lets out for the holiday season. Our school bus drivers shoulder an awesome responsibility of transporting our children from their homes/pick-up points to their schools, then back to their end-of-the-day destinations.
Hence, another thing to be thankful for this Holiday Season--our School Bus Drivers! How to Balance Those Tempting Holiday Treats with Good Nutrition Tips by Felicia Wilson
'Thinking small also is a way to avoid big calories!
Tis the season to be tempted—by momma’s good cooking, holiday parties and treats lurking around the office
There are several strategies for making your way around the buffet table at family gathering and/or the office party.
I hear you asking: How? Well you can better resist holiday treats with a little preparation. First and foremost, do not skip breakfast or lunch.
You can have a lower-calorie meal earlier in the day, make sure you don’t starve yourself because you are sure to overdo it when it’s time for the party.
Also, consider the connection between what you wear and what you eat.
It has been recommended that you wear clothes that are close-fitting so that when you eat enough you are sure to feel it, and when you feel it STOP!
Please be sure not to wear clothes that are uncomfortably tight, because this could cause significant discomfort.
Potluck is a good time to prepare eye-appealing fruit kabobs or a low-fat recipe from a light-cooking magazine.
Other strategies:
People with existing conditions such as heart disease can try nuts and snacks that have unsaturated fats. Those will keep you satisfied but also are heart-healthy. Even small physical activities help burn those extra calories:
Last, do not be too hard on yourself and attempt to start a diet during the holidays. Your goal can be to maintain your weight.
