I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself. For a moment life suddenly feels lighter, a bit more Gene Kelly dancing in the rain.

Deep end
My wife told me last night she wants a divorce then said she over reacted. How do I possibly deal with that? We are in counseling and I am trying SO hard. I am so afraid I will lose everything. I feel like a sword of Damocles is hanging over me. I suggested personal counselling for her too.
I need help. Even just this day and hour seem impossibly long.

change the direction of the train if you concentrate
That’s mental. Just tell your brain it’s going the other way.
Hmm cool trick.

Hundreds of kindergarten students suspended from school, mostly non-white | The Connecticut Mirror
Racist much?
===
It started with a report to the state’s Office of the Child Advocate that a child had been expelled from preschool.
Jamey Bell, the child advocate, saw no reason why a child that young should be suspended, and wanted to know how widespread the problem was. She also had learned that a 7-year-old had been arrested while at school.
She would soon find out that at least 1,967 students age 6 and under were suspended last school year — almost all of them black or Hispanic. According to a report from the Connecticut Department of Education, the number of students suspended is actually higher, but privacy issues restrict the state agency from releasing information that could identify unique student information.
“That’s a lot of kids… I do not think that [suspension] is an appropriate response” to students behaving poorly at school, Bell said. Excluding such young children from the classroom ”seems to me a non-educational, non-therapeutic response for those who are way too young to be culpable.”
The leader of the state’s child protection agency, Joette Katz, agrees.
“I was shocked” by the statistic, the Department of Child and Families commissioner told a roomful of people at the state Capitol complex Friday. “Clearly when children are being suspended, something else is not being attended to.”
Officials say that bad behavior of children this young is most often a symptom of something else they experienced in their life
Whaaat?

Military Quietly Grants Itself the Power to Police the Streets Without Local or State Consent
The lines between the military and law enforcement have blurred even further.
… By making a few subtle changes to a regulation in the U.S. Code titled “Defense Support of Civilian Law Enforcement Agencies” the military has quietly granted itself the ability to police the streets without obtaining prior local or state consent, upending a precedent that has been in place for more than two centuries.You better fall in line, because we’ll tap your phone, subject you to IRS scrutiny if you disagree, send in the army.
