There comes a time...

Well, yes, there comes a time (or maybe an age) where one does some reflecting. I've been in that mood lately. Where would I be if I'd stayed...what would have happened if I'd done this instead of that...where would I be if I'd had the guts to...and if one doesn't like where they are now, what does one do to change it?

A great book that I read recently that seems to deal with the same type of issues is Traveling with Pomegranates by Sue Monk Kidd and her daughter Ann Kidd Taylor. Both authors face roadblocks at different ages, and in alternating chapters, write about their struggles and their thoughts. It was a really fast read for me, and I really enjoyed it. It also spoke to me about the power of journaling, which I need to get back to doing on a regular basis.

Reference Question of the Day

Fun and timely as we in the midwest want to maximize the warm air flowing throughout our houses: which way is a ceiling fan supposed to spin during the winter?

I love these types of ref questions. You know the answer is out there and it is a matter of who can find it first. BTW...all of the sources we found said clockwise.
