I got nothing...

The thing with blogs is that I don't want to write just so that I'll have something on my page. So I'll give you a little personal a la carte...

Here's a good quote about risking love from C.S. Lewis

"There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love
anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If
you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no
one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little
luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin
of your selfishness. But in that casket-safe, dark, motionless, airless –
it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable,
impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the
risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can
be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.

We shall draw nearer to God, not by trying to avoid the sufferings inherent
in all loves, but by accepting them and offering them to Him; throwing away
all defensive armour. If our hearts need to be broken, and if He chooses,
this as the way in which they should break, so be it."

The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis

For all the men out there that want to know "How Women Work" here you go...

Conversation I had with one of my kindergarten students who had a bug bite on his leg:

"Miss Westin, My leg is bleeding."
"Go wipe it off with a wet towel and then we'll get a band-aid for it."
"Oo, I don't want a band-aid."
"Why not?"
"They stick to you."

LOL
