Hello, Wednesday

It is the middle of the week, almost 5 o'clock and I can. not. focus. My friends, the 2 cups of coffee and 1 earl gray latte are not helping. Nevertheless, here's my little quote that causes me to smile every time I read it- for each time I think of all the "you too['s]" that have become dear friends:

" The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, 'What? You too? I thought I was the only one.' "

~C.S. Lewis The Four Loves

Remembering for a Wild Moment...

Today is Wednesday, and usually by Wednesday I start missing my blog. Or rather, I miss the lull of checking my stats page to see what new obscure country has maintained a position on my readership list. Believe it or not, a person in Malaysia has read my blog! It was probably a mistake... So while my new official posting day is Saturday, as far as time allows, Wednesday will be something like "Quote Day," or maybe just a chance for me to offer up a middle week pick-me-up.

A Quote: " When we are very young children we don't need fairy tales: we only need tales. Mere life is interesting enough. A child of seven is excited by being told that Tommy opened a door and saw a dragon. But a child of three is excited by being told that Tommy opened a door. Boys like romantic tales; but babies like realistic tales-- because they find them romantic...This proves that even nursery tales only echo an almost pre-natal leap of interest and amazement. These tales say that apples are golden only to refresh the forgotten moment when we found that they were green. They make rivers run with wine only to make us remember, for one wild moment, that they run with water." ~G.K. Chesterton

I want all day to be filled with those "wild moments" where everything is new and thrilling and lovely.

Drink some coffee. Enjoy the sunshine- or the snow. Have a wild moment and look at something mundane with fresh eyes. Happy Wednesday!
