  DELIGHT FROM WITHIN 

  My life was an unending, unchanging midnight. It must be by necessity, always be midnight for me. So how was it possible that the sun was rising now in the middle of my midnight...

  I read this in Midnight Sun and fell in love with it because sometimes when you feel like your living in a peremant state of darkness and then out of no where the light starts to shine and your life begins to change..

  This is from a play called "A Majority of One" by Leonard Spigelgass. it was also a delightful movie . This is not an exact quote because I could not find the line.
  
  "When everyone else is wrong, and you are the only one who is right, then you are a 'majority of one'."

  Another quote I came across this morning and it made me laugh. Leanne - not sure what you're supposed to do...I guess worry? :)

    What have you got against the Kiwi's Leanne.

    It was bad enough when i travelled to the states and that was only 8 hrs difference. Going was bad because the flight was severely delayed so we ended up being awake almost 24 hrs.

    Leanne R (edited)

    same here Elaine on the way back from the states the flight took around 20 hours due to strong headwinds we diverted to NZ to refuel, my poor family was stuck at the airport waiting that extra 3 hrs.

    LOL - that's rich! I have staff below me, my big boss with some middle managers beneath her and I am kinda the filling in the sandwich. When I was off sick earlier this year my boss said she finally realised why i never seemed to get any work done, as all the people who would be in my office wanting answers, were going to her instead. It's nice to be appreciated - even if somewhat belatedly.
