of there were only joy in the world. - Helen Keller
Week ending Nov 28:

Week ending Dec 19:
The world is not respectable -- it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever, but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter,and in these, the spirit blooms. ~ George Santayana

I love this quote.
If I had my way (i.e. kids weren't going to wake me at 6:30), I'd write deep into the night. As it is, it's still a wonderful time for ideas, if not the words, to flow. Right before dropping off to sleep.
Indeed. I must have created 5 posts for this blog last night alone (now I must get to it!). My youngest, 20 months, is sloooowly sleeping better and better. So I have hopes that soon I will be able to actually write a bit after they go to bed.
That writer Quote is great!
