It\u2019s National Unicorn Day. I didn\u2019t see any one-horned horses, but then again I missed my walk for the second day in a row, so maybe they were out there prancing in the late afternoon thunderstorm. I did get outside to take pictures of just a few of the variety of daffodils Hubby planted all over the property. I never get tired of looking at these. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

I had a looong chat with a family member about an issue that will require intervention, but the clear resolution isn\u2019t going to be easy for the key players\u2014the one who\u2019s the problem and the other one who\u2019s enabling the problem, for understandable reasons. It\u2019s a situation that will require tough-love, and the person who needs to practice it the most is hampered by other issues (many of which will probably away after said tough-love is employed). I\u2019m somewhat of an outsider on this, making it easy for me to dole out the \u201csolution,\u201d yet those involved keep turning to me for guidance and then not trying my suggestions. They throw their hands up in defeat, allowing the problem to continue without consequences and, by extension, giving the problem no incentive to behave differently. The breaking point is nigh, I fear.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also National Winston Churchill Day (in America), when President Kennedy made Churchill an honorary citizen. Even though his mother was an American, apparently that wasn\u2019t good enough for our government. I leave you with one of Churchill\u2019s thousands of wise quotes: \u201cSuccess is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.\u201d<\/p>\n
