1/14: calming comforts

A day-long workshop at school left me with an unquiet mind, but this evening I've been slowly steadying myself with a warm dinner, hot chocolate, and postcard-writing.  And now I'll head to bed and treat myself to reading more of The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare.  I read it when I was young and recently decided to re-visit it--and it's amazing how I can remember reading particular sentences decades ago.
