Tea for Thought

"In wilderness, is the preservation of the world"
-Henry David Thoreau

I received some unexpected enlightenment from Mr. Thoreau while having my chamomile tea at work today. This quote appeared on the paper of the tea bag, and made me think about the often over-looked beauty that nature holds. In spite of the cloudy forecast (and 300 pages to read on the Crusades for Monday's class) this weekend, I will be squeezing a walk outdoors in. I hope that all of you can do the same.

Baby it's cold outside...

I hope that everyone enjoyed their snow day. I figured that this would be an appropriate song to post. Not a complete version, but I love Zooey Deschanel's voice and who doesn't love "Elf"?
