I confess that I wish I'd started doing Bountiful Baskets sooner...I didn't because it was new and "scary", but I can't believe how much produce I got for $15! For the first time in ages I can let my kids snack on fruits and veggies when they're hungry instead of worrying that it will mean we won't have enough to take us through the end of the week. That is a really good feeling.
I confess that it'd be nice if human beings exceeded my expectations more often.
Life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

"You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."
So I remembered playing Myst on my Ps2 a billion years ago. I found an on line version. I joined. Made my own avatar. Decided to do it solo. Logged on. And I got myself into one room with a BOOK of things to know and press and do.
I confess after Hassan told me the new hospital he will be working at, I have been on a google mission to read everything up on it. Apparently it's next to the Nile, if my google earth pics are right. It's 12 stories. It's very very good too! A very prestigious teaching hospital!
I confess that the thought of looking for a new doctor/social worker makes me want to have an anxiety attack :/
It's a really, really cool thing, to be able to show people that you can be yourself, and you should be proud of yourself, and you should own who you are and what you're about, and never make apologies for it.
