Busy First Week of May

Man, this week has gotten busy! 
Mayday on Monday, then a couple days later we had Polish Constitution Day, followed by May the Fourth (be with you), and now, it's suddenly Cinco de Mayo.  When am I going to have a chance to get ready for tomorrow's Kentucky Derby, and good Lawd!  I haven't even STARTED on my fascinator for King Chuck's coronation!

Validation and Inspiration

I don’t usually copy and paste things I see on Facebook, even if they make me smile.  

But we’re approaching the end of the school year, and I know that some of the hardest-working people I know, are getting burned out.  Please know the difference you make every day, in the hearts and minds of those who look up to you.  I tell this to authors, who write for children; as well as to teachers -  from those who care for kids who still need diaper changes, to those who would inspire a graduating thermodynamics or history student to consider graduate school, to better share their knowledge with others.  

There is never a wrong time to use your abilities to validate others.  Thank you for all that you do! 


Tears and Prayers

More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.
