A pensive end to a day.

I came across this blog – it’s too good not to share. The stories that she shares will leave you in tears and occasionally laughter, but more often than not, tears; and above all, a deeper appreciation for life and the things around you. Most of all, it makes you think. This latest post is particularly moving.

It’s time to take that skipping rope out of storage…

On yet another one of my many forages on the vast world of the Internet, I came across this article.

You’ll have to wade through the scientific research and studies that make up the bulk of the article, but it’s a pretty easy read. The conclusion really made me L-O-L.

It’s time to jump more!

The Obamas’ Marriage

On one of my (many!) breaks from my essay-writing, I came across this article on the New York Times, one of the news sites that I frequent. The timing of the article is suspect as one year has now officially passed since Obama’s win last year, and the fading glow from Obama’s sparkle for the Americans in current circumstances probably contributes to this article being some sort of political tactic (and boost) as well. But nevertheless, a very fascinating read. Click on the image above for the article.
