security, seasons, mental health break, and attitude

1. A father craddles his young son in his arms as they go up the path to their house
2. A warm, soft day. When I think of spring, I think of soft, gentle air - today I felt like the air was cushioning me
3. A two week break from assignments! Although the midterm today was NOT a beautiful thing, I have two whole weeks with no school deadlines!

and a bonus beautiful thing . . .

I was listening to a radio interview with a gentleman attempting to fly solo from England to Australia - blind. He said that he decided that he could do this when he realized the problem wasn't being blind, it was his attitude: "I'm still as blind as a bat, but I'm a happy bat."
