3-Day Weekends...

,,, are heavenly, aren't they?  They just seem to go on forever, that is, until it's Monday afternoon, and you wonder what you did all weekend.  That's sort of the feeling I'm having, anyway.  I had an absolutely lovely afternoon tea at Lady Mendl's, which might be the most gorgeous tea salon I've ever seen.  It was exactly what afternoon tea should be, in my humble opinion.

I've yet to decide how I plan to spend the rest of my holiday, but I wanted to leave you with some quotes I've been pondering/enjoying lately.

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

"One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself."
- Leonardo da Vinci

"Accepting oneself does not preclude an attempt to become better."
- Flannery O'Connor

"Happiness depends upon ourselves.  To live happily is an inward power of the soul."
