The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Hammock Time

To any future volunteers heading to Ukraine who may happen to read this,

Bring one of those wonderfully compact camping hammocks with you. I curse myself every time there's delightfully warm and sunny weather here (yes, we are still intermittently having it!) and all I want to do is lay out in the sun and nap. It's the only item that I regret not bringing with me.

On a semi-related note, my landlady told me today that this last bit of warm weather we're having is called baboosny/babushky (grandmother) summer.
