My grandfather always used to say, "Do you wake up and think - Oh God, it's Monday or Thank you, God, for Monday?"
This isn't a great picture, but it'll suffice for now; plus it's the only one I have easy access to. For those of you who still have grandfathers around, take advantage of every story and drop of wisdom they share with you. Seriously, do it! As cliché as it sounds, I never appreciated either of my grandfathers' infinite wisdom until after they had both passed away. My father always used to tell me to call my grandfather when I needed help with French homework, and now I regret not doing so. Along with my maternal grandfather and my great uncles, I have yet to meet anyone as wise. Or curious. Amongst other things, my paternal grandfather - above - knew six different languages fluently (English, French, Arabic, Italian, Latin, and Hebrew)!!! If I can grow up to be half as fabulous as he was, I'll come out juuuust fiiiine.
Okay, no time now, but I'm definitley adding to this blog in a few hours.
