Five Star Friday's Edition #92

I normally have a quote by someone right here in this spot, but my computer is b0rked and has robbed me of much precious time this morning, so I urge you to think up something brilliant, which I know you can, and then imagine it sitting here looking all quotey. Got it? Beautiful.

This Five Star Friday roundup is brought to you by neighbors, an anniversary, inclusion, art, a power outage, a Thursday, literacy, questioning, disability, a relationship, love and the Internet, heartache, beauty, Roger Ebert, and passion.

And please leave a link to one of your own excellent weblog entries in the comments. There is never enough good reading to go around.

Happy Friday!

Five Star Friday's Edition #91

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

   — C.S. Lewis

This Five Star Friday roundup is brought to you by a troublemaker, motherhood, violence, fear of flying, the love of a boy, relief, gaining perspective, judgmental attitudes, yoga, the end of a friendship, a grandmother, prom dresses of yore, renewal, alter egos, an amazing sister, fear, mental health, identity, autism, and personal truth.

Feeling courageous today? Oh, hell, even if you're not, share one of your best weblog entries in the comments. The more good reading the better.

Happy Friday!

Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it; boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

   — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
