It’s Not Easy Bein’ Green

Kermit the Frog shared with us forty years ago just how awesome it is to accept ourselves unconditionally, and he encouraged us to see the rest of the world through those same tolerant eyes. Kermit is green and he at first is unhappy that he is the same as the trees or mountains, unhappy that he can blend in so easily with the rest of the world to be potentially passed over.

There are days when all of us feel green, in the sense of this concern with being ordinary, but in the end Kermit accepts that being green makes him the perfect version of who he is. Enjoy your own green today!

Ronnie Trash Wants Us to Put Our Trash in a Can

Sesame Street has long been a leader in teaching good lessons to everyone, kids and adults alike. Doing a quick search just on YouTube for 'Sesame Street environment' brought up hundreds of videos. This one, with a song sung to the tune of “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash, is a fantastic lesson for everyone as it explains that we all need to take care of our planet because we all live here. Hope you enjoy feeling like a kid again watching this!

Old School Fun Videos

Charmaine sent me the first two videos this morning and immediately upon watching them I was taken back to age five sitting in front of the television, watching Sesame Street. Educational television existed back then and they were not afraid to teach us kids about things that were seemingly out of our grasp. The third video is one that stuck with me through all of school; anytime I got stuck in English class this little ditty went through my head and everything was alright. Notice that without the second lesson it would be pretty difficult to pronounce the name of the third video. It would be great to see more programming like this on television again!
