Funny thing.

In my last post I referenced Hotel New Hampshire with "sorrow floats." I hadn't remembered until now, that that is the same Irving novel from which this blog's namesake comes. "Keep passing the open windows." That little realization is making today just a little better. <3 Thanks for that, Irving.

Huh...makes sense that I like it so much, I think.

I'm glad that little realization picked you up, a bit. :); 4/25/2012

Womanly Always

Style is an expression of personality. The way we present ourselves is as much an art as the work we produce. But if a woman can present herself gracefully but with strength, and eloquence of language, then I like to believe she remains above snobbery of word or deed; she places scholarship before social obligations and character before appearances; she is, in the best sense, democratic rather than 'exclusive', and lovable rather than 'popular'; she works earnestly, speaks kindly, acts sincerely, chooses thoughtfully that course which occasion and conscience demand; she is womanly always; she is discouraged never; in a word, is loyal under any and all circumstances that she may be a symphony of high purpose and helpfulness in which there is no discordant note.
