"The work can wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you do the work." (Patricia Clafford)
What a great and beautiful reminder: this was the quote on an invitation which we received on Sunday to attend a christening tomorrow afternoon. A mild joke about having to take time off work at the last minute to be there for this important moment in a child's life, but nevertheless a thought that's been on my mind since. My colleague and I pondered the thought during recess duty today on that first really perfect spring day, and she pointed out that it's not just to show the child the rainbow but to take time to look at it yourself too. Let's not let it pass us by.... :)

- After forty-three years of life, I’m still trying to make sense of it all....but always with a smile. What a weird and windy trek it’s been, filled with loads of unexpected twists and turns, leading well off the beaten path. The best part of the story is always the spectacular view that follows. The trick is to keep trusting the journey, even through the thick of it.
