A Teacher's Reflections 
Good re-blog, Jennie.
(I am not getting post notifications at the moment, so trawling through The Reader. And this comment may not appear…)
Best wishes, Pete.
Thank you, Pete. I got your comment. Best to you.
That was lovely!
Thank you! 🙂
hi very good article.
Thank you.
Thanks for sharing John’s post, Jennie. It is very a readable and wise post. He must be a powerful speaker. Great to know we are all normal.

We sometimes have to experience it for ourselves, just to be sure, don’t we. 🙂
Indeed!
A lovely share Jennie. Thank you 💐🌟🌟
Thank you!
