GIFTS OF DAWN

Morning has Broken!

   I have sang this song every morning for as long as I can remember I have even sung it to patients I have cared for in the hospital.

  I work Nights and I start my shift with a song and end it with song.

  I was once written up for singing to my patients. (My voice is not that bad but some people attitude is.)

   Story: 0530 AM co-worker was singing "I'm awake, awake I'm awake..." I said thats not a morning song," and Emily and Jean asked "What was a good song to wake up to," so I sang Morning has broken to them. They were not ready for that.

   When I was done most of the night staff and Patients had gather to listen and all agreed it was a much better song!

   I have always believed that giving freely of knowledge and sharing how things are done or made, is a wonderful gift form God.  So all my life I have shared how things are done from chaining a ten ton school bus to changing a diaper on a 200lb person by myself. Read more...

Books free the Mind of a child, have you told your child a story today?

Reading to a child:

   Is the single most important thing you will do as a parent, the mind of a child is a wonderful place filled with imagination.

   Here at Gifts of Dawn I want to encourage reading as well as singing to children, I want you to tell them stories of your childhood or about there forefathers.

   Give them any connection to the past and family that you know about. Sing lullabies your mother sang or make cookies as she did with you. Teach them, they have value as a member of the family, and you are proud of them.

   I am a Durkee (you remember Durkee Airlines, Durkee Spices, Durkee Mayonnaise) and I remember the stories Nina Durkee (my grandmother) told me about my sea faring family, how I came from the sea, from a long line of sea captains.

   Her words were music to my imagination and I transformed her stories into my stories, I needed to belong. I was a sick child and was in bed most of the time.

   If you are a writer or author and would like a page I would welcome you with open pen. (Free) As one tiny voice we are not heard but as a bigger voice we can be heard.

   If you have a website cross-link with me lets become that LOUD voice and be heard. It a small world and we speak from everycorner.
