Talk About Tuesday-- Matthew's Corner

While Rob and I were in North Carolina for Christmas, we got the opportunity to spend a lot of time with our twelve year old nephew, Matthew. As it turns out, Matthew has taken up a new hobby of writing poetry. As we were talking with Matthew about his writing, he asked if I would "publish" him, since I have an active blog. Well....how in the world could I say no to that sweet face and that brilliant poetry? So, Matthew turned over all of his precious writings for me to post to my blog...and I am quite honored to do so. Matthew is a very smart young man and it is my pleasure to pass on some of his writings to you for your reading pleasure! With that said, I give you the first installment of "Matthew's Corner"!!

Matthew, On Cheer

The amazing feeling of a great accomplishment that you have made can put another brick on the foundation of something you can call an ego.

But this is not a good thing, although accomplishing something is a good thing, an ego can cause several problems in your life, especially in the life of your cheer.

Cheer is a wonderful thing, it is also what keeps us happy, and even healthy. Being very cheerful can really help you accomplish things, and it will even help get rid of an ego.

So, in all you do, be cheerful in what you do, live, say and feel, so that you, even you, can stay happy, healthy and ego-free.
