Quote of the week No. 35 : A very special talent
Almost 7°C in the bathroom today. Beats four. Beats two. Whispy clouds, struggling sunshine, something of a breeze.

You know, when I saw this quote, I thought, if I can teach my children that happiness is something you're good at (or you can get good at) rather than something they're entitled to, or a mystical veil that just settles on you one day...if I can teach them that, I've done something good for them!
