"Some years ago Sir Ken Robinson, the author and creative advocate, once told a story of a six year-old girl in school.

In those circumstances we have to look to children as examples. What do children do if they don’t know something? They think about it and then make assumptions, but they make those ideas without fear of being wrong and without worrying of failing."

"...gossipy people define themselves by who they ignore as much as by who they care about." = Perhaps...?
"If I expect anything at all, it will change my perception." = Yes.
"Unconditional trust destroys relationships." When you really start to know someone, they become more distant? Hmmm...?
"Nobody sits by himself in an empty room and thinks, 'I'm amazing.'" = I have, Dude!
"These are the kind of thoughts I entertained, because I was just smart enough to be totally stupid." = Yeppers!

The book was a good read. For sure! The characters were very complex; I wanted to hurt the guy & the therapist woman was ditzy at times... people are complex; Chuck captured that.

I'm resting you (and icing you) one more day.
I hope you don't lock up on me tomorrow
(or do whatever you did at the beginning of my short run Monday);
I really want to do my best this weekend
in the rain.



I promise to stretch you out big time tomorrow.
And Friday, too.
But if you could hold strong on Saturday, that would be awesome.
It'll be an adventure. It'll be fun.
Sincerely,
the body you are connected to...

< The best one! )

"It's really hard to teach those who know it all." - Him, sarcastically after trying to give me ice-fishing advice. Me: "I know! Ask my students."

Other thoughts post-ice-fishing trip to Lake Of The Woods (a Spring Break trip I hope becomes a ritual)...
--- Sometimes you just have to leave all the work to the lure; if'it's not attractive, all the jiggin' in the world might not help.
--- Patience can pay off, and usually does in some way.
--- Even if you are gentle with something, it still might "die." (baby sauger)

It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true." - MLK Jr.
