::Five things.

Five good posts that I read the other day: 

1. :10 Books You Must Read  To Your Daughter (Or How To Keep Your Daughter From Ending Up Like That Horrid Girl in Twilight).

2. :A Downton Abbey Children's Book List.

3. :Books In A Bag.

4. :On Loneliness: A Letter For My Children.

5. :Light For A Loved Boy.

:Five good quotes:

1. "Child," said the Voice, "I am telling you your story, not hers. I tell no one any story but his own."

2. “It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.”

3. “I always deserve the best treatment because I never put up with any other.”

4. “I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control. ”

5. "May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

:Five things from the past few days here in Wesleytown: 

1. It has been very, very cold here.
