\ WORKING WITH SMALL CHILDREN gives wonderful incite into the joys of life. Last week, when we had a dusting of snow every adult was saying, “I hope it doesn’t stick, it’s too early to snow, I don’t like this weather.’”’ Children, however, could hardly contain their excitement. ‘Oh, boy, it’s snow- | ing. I'm going to make a snow- man when I get home. Isn’t it pretty. I love snow!” The difference in any situation is really how you look at things. Of course snall children don’t realize the implications of heavy snow on the roads, but wouldn’t it be great to be able to meet most experiences with pure happiness and optimism. I AM SO HAPPY to be able to report that Susan Butcher is home following a stay in Gen- eral Hospital.
