let's give each other something to cry about that heals instead of hurts ❤️ what silly thing makes happy tears spring up in your eyes?

awards ceremonies always get me, no matter how mundane – I was the weird 4H mom applauding and wiping away tears about every kid, not just her own 😂🙃

love seeing someone open a gift they're genuinely super excited about

commercials often get me, too

I would love all those kids just the same ❤️

in case you actually are curious about 4H:

4-H is a U.S.-based network of youth organizations whose mission is "engaging youth to reach their fullest potential while advancing the field of youth development".

The goal of 4-H is to develop citizenship, leadership, responsibility and life skills of youth through experiential learning programs and a positive youth development approach.

Its name is a reference to the occurrence of the initial letter H four times in the organization's original motto head, heart, hands, and health, ...

...

I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
my heart to greater loyalty,
my hands to larger service,
and my health to better living,
for my club, my community, my country, and my world.

it can be a pretty cool organization for kids, depending on who leads the club your kid joins, but there are usually several clubs in an area that your family would qualify to join. we landed in one with other nerdy, neurodivergent families, and it was a great experience.
