Thalia touches her cheek with a hot eraser. “Dr-ahhhhw-ing humans is harrrrrr-d! Ahhhh-n-duh fun!”
“Muses.” Nia clarifies.

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole if life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

A note from LoveLetterist:
In the room I painted over the weekend I came across a series of books written by Kathryn Lasky -- Wolves of the Beyond.
I cracked the first one open while eating lunch and couldn't put it down.
I remembered reading the story with the kid.
I marveled at how the author challenges with vocabulary and concepts.
I was astounded to find the books are deemed fit for children ages 8-12.
We are often capable of so much more than we think we are?
Choose your hard?
And your fun?
What's challenging you?
Kermit captivated my attention and my heart. Maybe not as powerfully as for some. Yeah, red-green color detection deficiency. Still, Calliope seems to be coming along nicely.
Tal’s observation that hard tasks are hard is a life lesson that can serve us well. Otherwise, commitment and stick-to-it-ive-ness would have no place. Make no sense.
The JK quote you selected was a great fit to the post! Once again, LoveLetterist, you knocked this one out of the park. And I’m not talking Whiffle Ball. 😊
