  3. One of the students I work with, who seems to have some difficult issues,made a point of coming back to the room to wish me a good weekend. That was enormously rewarding in that I suspect it was a big step for him.

  6. This is one of my favorite quotes and I had no idea it originated with Van Gogh! (I had thought it was FDR.) Thanks for giving me the nudge to get off of the computer and start making some cards today!
