Well, I just had to come down and send this message out to everyone. After working all day, I took a needed break and watched the special PBS (edu. TV, for the non-North Americans on LACTNET) on the Fourth of July celebration at the Mall at the Capitol in Washington, DC. And I just KNOW all those darling babies (with the breastfeeding-created squirrel cheeks, bright eyes and perfect skin) and toddlers on Dad's shoulders and young children dancing HAD to be from the LLLI Conference ongoing right now. As I watched you all wave, I waved back. As you danced to James Galway's brilliant flute with orchestra songs, I danced. As you swayed to the music of the other performers, I swayed. We were one--though thousands of miles away from one another. And, because I was remiss on July 1 -- I hope all the Canadians on Lactnet will accept my belated Happy Canada Day to you. Night now! :-) mailto:[log in to unmask] "We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations." Kathleen G.
