Good morning from Dyffryn Ardudwy!

No, that isn’t a typo, or secret code. It’s Welsh—one of the ancient languages of the British Isles, before the invasions by the Romans, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Danes, and Normans eventually led to the evolution of modern English.

The fair village of Dyffryn Ardudwy lies in the county of Gwynedd, in the scenic country of Cymru (Wales). We’re spending a few days here in Snowdonia National Park with my mother-in-law and one of our daughters. (And our Mountain Dog, Darcy.)

Loved Ones with Depression (Kathryn Butler)

At first, I told myself I could shrug off the gloom. Perhaps I’m just not getting enough sleep, I would say when I struggled to crawl out of bed. Maybe I’m just having a few bad days, I would think when sunshine and my kids’ laughter suddenly lost their luster. Yet after days turned into weeks and the fog didn’t lift, I couldn’t ignore the truth. KEEP READING

Great Quotes

  • A great many people think they are thinking when they are only rearranging their prejudices. – William James (1842-1910)

  • 5% of people really think, 10% think they think, and the remainder would rather die than think. It’s the 5% who make the difference in the world.

  • To be a good speaker in public, you must be a good thinker in private.

  • Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. – Albert Einstein
