Hi Wendy!

Sorry to hear you're having a rough week! Let me share a little bit of joy with you!

You must know by now I've had to take off-farm employment as lunch-lady at my local elementary school. It's hard to leave the farm, but the kids (K-4th) are super cute and serve as a balm to my wounded pride, lol.

When I was leaving the building today, passing through the gymnasium on my way out, the kids involved in gym class ganged up on me for a group hug!🥰

Imagine, if you will, 8 or 10 1st graders all hugging on and fawning over you. I was almost knocked over by the force of their hugging and had to brace myself so neither I nor the kiddos got hurt.

It's enough to melt even the coldest hearts, and since I'm a big softee anyway, it just puts me to tears.😭🥰

Feel better soon, my friend! Sending love and good juju from Maine!🙌

Thank you so much for this lovely joyful; message Sam. I've worked with children in the past and can relate to this experience. Children have their own special kind of joy to give, don't they? I know you'd rather be on your lovely farm but I'm so pleased you are enjoying your time with the children. xxx
