"Words only hurt if you let them!"

Not just you, but your emotions as well. You're also giving them control of your opinion of yourself. There are plenty of things that we have no control in life,so why Pages for Children, Inc.http://www.blogger.com/profile/15019529560296326421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244222.post-67259788351755238372013-02-08T20:45:00.000-06:002013-02-08T20:45:03.520-06:00How are things?I realize I don't post on here often, but I don't know what to say sometimes.

So many children spend much of their childhood in hospitals, due to accidents or illnesses. To keep their curious minds growing, we formed Pages for Children in January of 2009. Each month, Pages for Children mails books and other related items to hospitals for these youngsters, not only to fuel their imaginations, but also to remind them that they are thought about and loved.
