Because I have so little with which to occupy my time, I'm looking at volunteering for some of the professional associations I belong to. After all, there are four of them and so far I've done little but obtain certificates and sit through seminars. I reckon I can help by beginning to relay some of the things I've done.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
