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!
Brief prose, musings, random thoughts, occasional bits of amateur poetry - and whatever doesn't fit anywhere else. This is my junk drawer.

Busy First Week of May

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.
