the prickly rose

if you want to get to the front of the line quickly, hold my hand.  if you want tea and sympathy; then I'm probably not your girl.  Today the baby daughter is off to Brighton England for a semester abroad and I'm pretty proud of her.  She worked two jobs all summer to save up money and managed to charm everyone she met.  She is, of course, the opposite of me.  But I'm learning by watching her that smiles do get results.  How much there is to learn from our children!
