Science Inspires

I have to admit, this has been a long, tiring week, and today was another long and tiring day.  So, I was struggling to find an inspirational topic on the 39th day of 2017.  39 is a good number (13 x 3) so I was hoping to get inspiration for my inspiration.  SO, on 2/8/2017, I meandered over on the internet to see who was born today.  Hoping to get inspiration.  And I DID.  Dmitri Mendeleev was born on this day in 1828.  And, as we approach 300 years later, my kids are still learning his genetic methods in science class.  I love to watch them work out science experiments and theories and I appreciate the ways their teachers stretch them.  And I am inspired to keep their love for science fed.  More than ever, we need science in our world and in our lives.  More than EVER.  May we all be inspired to honor science and facts in these turbulent times.
