Hello, this blog is a repository of random memories.

bon courage is my favorite French phrase. I picked it up when my graduate school thesis advisor (who’s French) would always tell me this. Literally, “good heart” but it basically means “take heart” or “have courage” as opposed to bonne chance which means “good luck”.

It’s as if doing wishing somebody bon courage meant that they whatever they are doing, whatever the outcome, we should have some heart.

And don’t we all need a little bon courage in our way? xx
