    To the owner of this blog, who rigorously adheres to Mark Twain’s admonition to:

    “Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”

    Color me, and many many others, gratified and astonished.

    😎

    P.S. Among other things, remember this year to: 1), watch where you put your feet, and 2), watch where your dog puts your feet.

    Knees I say more?

    Happy New Year Diane
    I have been following you from day 1 and especially when times at school were more than challenging I would read one of your blogs and I would regain my strength. Your voice has been a source of strength for me and encouraged others to find their own voices, of whom I am one.
    You are the Victor Lazlo of Education.

    How is it possible that I feel such personal connectivity with and warmth from and toward people I’ve never met, from as far as 3,000 miles away? Just because I respect you all so much? What the power of this blog? I do not know, but Happiest of New Years to everyone!
