“Give me books, French wine, fruit, fine weather and a little music played out of doors" - John Keats. Over the next four days, I hope to indulge in all of the above. I'm taking a personal day tomorrow, so memorial weekend official starts for me tonight. Cheers!

"...my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don’t know what lies around the bend, but I’m going to believe that the best does. It has a fascination of its own, that bend.” ~ Lucy Maude Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
Like Anne, I thought I had it all figured out. Consistency and routine are comforting and safe, but it's the bend, the risk, the change -- therein lies the fascination!
