Late day today as Kate's school lets them sleep in on Wed (helps with late week absenteeism). Tomorrow I teach all day so I am doubling up today.

Today is Jake day....

Things I have learned from Muireann:

Conduct yourself with dignity even in the midst of change.

Button holes can be made by hand... but not by me.

The quiet are often the most talented. Observe the quiet ones.

Love is patient.

Hand sew something and live the experience of creation.

Not all Peers are wearing medallions.

And also Lady Rhiannon:

Never discount the impact of a kind word.

Huge talents lie untapped among us.

Offer yourself to strangers and receive unexpected treasures.

The best place to relax is behind a pavilion.

When it looks dark, keep looking for the light.
