Monday is my day off and for me typically the most intense day of writing. I hit the keys with vehemence, like Jillian Michaels is yelling at the back of my head.
But not today. Today is family hike day.
Says William Wordsworth:
UP! up! my Friend, and quit your books;
Or surely you’ll grow double:
Up! up! my Friend, and clear your looks;
Why all this toil and trouble?
The sun, above the mountain’s head,
A freshening lustre mellow
Through all the long green fields has spread,
His first sweet evening yellow. …
And hark! how blithe the throstle sings!
He, too, is no mean preacher:
Come forth into the light of things,
Let Nature be your teacher.
She has a world of ready wealth,
Our minds and hearts to bless—
Spontaneous wisdom breathed by health,
Truth breathed by cheerfulness.

Enjoy! When I hear William Wordsworth these days, I’m reminded of a film I have enjoyed recently called “Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont”. Have you seen it? This is not a perfect film, but it is a beautiful film in some way. I’m not sure the rating, but I’d give it PG-13. Here’s a trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8jM0Ef5NvA
Maybe you’d appreciate it? A guess…
