Today, I am giving you a
DAILY SURVIVAL KIT
to help you each day…………
Toothpick … to remind you to pick the good qualities in everyone, including yourself.
Rubber band … to remind you to be flexible. Things might not always go the way you want, but it can be worked out.
Band-Aid … to remind you to heal hurt feelings, either yours or someone else’s.
Eraser … to remind you everyone makes mistakes. That’s okay, we learn from our errors.
Candy Kiss … to remind you everyone needs a hug or a compliment everyday.
Mint … to remind you that you are worth a mint to your family & Me.
Bubble Gum … to remind you to stick with it and you can accomplish anything.
Pencil … to remind you to list your blessings every day.
Tea Bag … to remind you to take time to relax daily and go over that list of blessings.
This is what makes life worth living every minute, every day.
A colleague sent this inspiring poem to me and I wanted to share it with you and yours. Enjoy!
“Thanks, Nancy!”
Thanks Mrs. Nielsen,
for the reminders.
We all should take the time to do these simple things. What a wonderful world it would be!
My toothpick can pick out many endearing qualities in you. I’m so glad you are my friend.
Your students are blessed to have such a caring teacher.
your friend,
Mrs. Brancati
Thank you for the kind words, Mrs. Brancati. You’re worth a “mint” to me!

My dear Mrs. Nielsen,
I will put a sparkly rock in “my kit” to remind me of dear friends who make my life sparkle and shine by their warmth and kindness!
I asked my class to imagine what to put in their own “New Year kits”… Thank you for the inspiration!
