The sun on the opening bloom in the middle....isn't that JUST how life can feel in youth sometimes? Sun and shade on you, and you choose which to concentrate on.
I probably deserve a kick of self indulgence and more such kind thoughts.I'll live.
So much kindness..
Today is yoga day. Hatha for soul and body. It helps.

Haha, I was thinking of her as a possibility for you. plenty for everyone as needed.. She's was sold to me as Aloha, and certainly performs as her, but the colour seems bluer. She is one of the first out, and repeats ALL season, she pretty much is one of the friendliest gals on the north side of my property. frankly, I think every garden should have one, she'll never let you done, has beautiful results and all ways brings a smile to the face. AND, of course, she smells good.

International travel combined with relationship drama don't exactly equate to great sleeping habits.
Thanks all... I think that after this weekend, I'll gain some clarity, which will help a lot.
Hope you reach a resolution, and that sleep will follow![]()

I don't even know what to think of the wedding. The dancing was fun but the food really wasn't worth the effort getting there. It was a weird combination of really stuck up, old fashioned religious stuff and the folksy fun-times. The tables were incredibly beautiful, with birch twigs and wild flowers.
I didn't know anybody there, except for J. I thought about entertaining myself by coming up with a role and sticking to it the entire time, I even had an elaborate backstory for my character, but J pulled the plug when I told him about it. Should have just done it without mentioning it to him.

Oooohhh! Yes, you should have just done for it... I have done this before, complete with fake accent. Of course, it works best when you're not attending an hours long event...![]()
My daughter's school has a peer mentor system. The 11 year olds starting in September will be mentored by her year, the 14/15 year olds.

My daughter's school has a peer mentor system. The 11 year olds starting in September will be mentored by her year, the 14/15 year olds.
Students wanting to apply to be mentors have to submit a written application, and last week she came home very disappointed that she hadn't been chosen. I was a bit surprised too - the reports we get are that she is mature, sensible, well behaved and hardworking, and that two teachers have put less able students next to her in class, knowing that they can rely on her to help.
Today when I came home, there was a letter from school saying that her application had been very good and that she was a credit to us, but didn't say anything about the decision.
When I complimented her on it, she just pulled a face and shrugged. She said that the ones who have been chosen as mentors are the problem kids - the late arrivers, the badly behaved and the ones who don't complete homework. She said that they get to do this because they won't have any other positive remarks on their school leaving report so they get this opportunity to achieve, in the hope that it will spur them on to improve.
Now, I can understand that to a certain extent, that these kids may feel they have to be good students to impress the younger ones. i can see that the idea may be to motivate, although I have reservations about its success rate. But, in the short term at least, it has hugely demotivated daughter, and I think that's a shame, too.
I can't really decide the rights and wrongs of the school's thinking on this, but I really hope daughter bounces back and drops the cynicism which she is currently protecting herself with.
