Daily Advice # 2

As time goes on, you'll understand.  What lasts, lasts - what doesn't, doesn't.

Time solves most things.

And what time can't solve - you have to solve yourself.

Open Letter #1

Dear Les Miserables,

Please come back to Brisbane or anywhere in Australia....I don't care where, I'll travel to see you. I need to be sitting in the comfortable darkness in front of you - feeling your fighting spirit and your passion all around me.

It must be ten years since I last saw you.....I miss you.

Your loving fan.

They grow up so fast


So. So. Fast. It seems like one day you're strapping on their backpack for their first day of school - then the next.....you're strapping on their wings to send them off into the world.  How exciting for them!

Connection

The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.
