I was among the many relieved to have reached Winter Solstice and start looking forward to gaining my six minutes per day. Strawberries of integrity shared a solstice definition, Bonito Club shared with us his confused eggplant and sardonic smile gave us some ways to continue to beat the Winter blues all the way to Spring.

Ruminations made our hearts soften with her local hero story of reuniting a blind, deaf, epileptic black pug with his human and totally melt with the accompanying photos. If you are in need of ‘a moment’, I suggest you click on over. But if you are in more of a sleuthing mood Justgirlwithshoes requires some serious detective to find a ‘book with an orange cover’ that changed her life.

Some thought provoking professional lessons popped up too…

Virtually a librarian continues to keep us on the professional straight and narrow with a call for papers for the 13th Australasian Conference of Knowledge Management and Intelligent Decision Support (ACKMIDS).  Having spoken at the previous one – this is a good intimate conference if you would like to start to get your bearings.  Although participants are primarily of the academic nature the presentations are varied between practical and academic – something for everyone! (well as long as you have at least one knowledge management bone in your body).

Bun-Toting Librarian provided us with some deep food for thought on our private lives crossing over with our personal lives – a phenomenon happening more and more.

But if nothing else take away today’s lesson from Connecting librarian who reminded us ‘Cheesecake makes all the difference in staff morale’.

Mmmmmm….cheesecake….
