twenty-eight years and a million words
I spent the day on Toronto's harbor islands, at the annual retreat for the non-profit board on which I sit. It was a beautiful day, and it felt like we were productive. It's been an exhausting weekend, but that's nothing new.

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.
