Actual happiness looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn’t nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
Education
"Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters and the trees and flowers on Earth. Then they will begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education." -David Polis
"Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it... but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one becomes to feeling ill... Thus if one just keeps walking, everything will be all right." -Soren Kierckgaard
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
- Albert Camus
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
Annie Dillard
You know, he did have sprinkles for his chocolate chip birthday, so maybe Cody Cole have solved the mystery! Im not a very good Mom as far as cookie baking - it happens maybe twice a year then it is usually molasses, so cookies are a good guess, but I dont think that is it.
My guess is a lovely red crayon and a pretty blue crayon! Or maybe nerds on one side and red hots on the other!

Cody and Cole guess red and blue icing. Camp guesses on cookie on one side and a different color cookie on the other side.

Uh oh - I hope it wasn't one of his "experiments"! That's a scary blue!

There were some food colors in his experiment kit, but nothing quite that color!
My first thought is crayons. ? But, Tiny is so particular, I cant imagine him eating crayons. Who knows. He isnt talking.

Weve never had nerds or red hots! I was thinking crayon too.
