Thank you. <strong>Anita</strong>, I know you a bit, from your blogs, your art work, your love of your girls (which is given back to you), your indefatigable work helping blogging-students with the technical stuff, your steady support of friends who blog, your exceptional ability to write -- let's see, what else? Well, that's a good list to start with. Sometimes though, periodic resting is a craft worth pursuing. Many productive folk haven't learned how to do that well. As long as we have life, my friend, there is more to learn... that's a good thing. :) <strong>Carol</strong>, I love the Willie Wonka quote. Perfect! It's true to that story's way of teaching -- through the back door, upside down. But the points are well-taken as we straighten them out. Thanks. :) And my inbox looks like yours. <strong>Swati</strong>, you write poetry! Thank you! Such warm comments greet me this morning. Thank you.

Anita, I know you a bit, from your blogs, your art work, your love of your girls (which is given back to you), your indefatigable work helping blogging-students with the technical stuff, your steady support of friends who blog, your exceptional ability to write — let’s see, what else? Well, that’s a good list to start with.

What a beautiful way of starting today's work for me... for I am just beginning. I am even putting reading the essay off for later, so as to savour this little thought.

I think that when my life has ended, my inbox will still be full of things to learn. Lovely post and essay, as always.

I'll leave it at that since my craft(s) still need a lot of work. Beautiful doodle Barb and beautiful post as well. I’ll leave it at that since my craft(s) still need a lot of work.
