If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.

Last night we saw History Boys by Allen Bennett. An amazing piece on history, education, truth, friendship, betrayal, youth, age and loss. We laughed frequently and even cried. Eight energetic and awesome young actors played the students and I swear there is star power in that group.

Today at noon D & M arrive. they are such close friends that they have their own coffee mugs with their names on them and the guest room got finished yesterday with the new shades installed and the jacuzzi scrubbed and disinfected. and this morning I will buy fresh flowers for their room. Abs will freak out at first but after they have stayed and behaved for a few days she will settle in and probably sit on one of them.

So I wont be around much, unless they all go hiking and leave me alone for a few hours to decompress. introvert that I am.
