Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.
– Albert Schweitzer

Got up at 6am this morning to run. Haven’t done that since Before Children. This is as true a marker as any that I’m coming through to the Other Side. Hooray! It means, basically, that I’m well rested enough to forgo an hour of sleep in order to run before the household wakes. It also relies on (a) weather and (b) Matt’s travel, over which I have similar – well, none at all – control. But it was lovely. Best part was passing a big May Day celebration by the Weeks footbridge. A huge crowd was gathered, flowers in hair, morris dancing, music, a maypole. A big smile-inducing thing to see first thing in the morning on the first of May.

Quotation is another random one that I just like. I DO owe deep thanks to those who have helped me find my light again of late … you know who you are. Thank you.
