Quote Roundup
Quotes are powerful.
They can stir emotion, invoke confidence, make us reminisce, put us in our place, infuriate us, make us laugh, make us cry… you get the idea.
When I need some inspiration or I’m feeling a bit down, I check out my favorites and feel instantly energized and grateful.
Here are some of my current favorite quotes.
So many choices, so many good choices!
We can pick the thoughts that we want to exemplify!

Never say “Whoa!” in a mud hole
Ever been in one of those mud holes? Whether real or figuratively, the mud holes of life present us with a challenge. And, hopefully, we’re not hollering “Whoa!” What does it mean? Well, if I am in a horse-drawn wagon and have to go through a mud hole, I’d be a fool to stop and […]
Learning from a Bald Ibis?!
Poking around the internet the other day, I came across a fascinating story about the Bald Ibis. (a species I’d never heard of) Background: Once upon a time this bird had a powerful status in ancient Egypt as the god Thoth. He/it was thought to carry the soul into the afterlife. Now one of […]
We’re all “storytellers”
Like me, I’ll bet you have a “story” for just about everything! Why you can’t lose weight, why you can’t keep a budget, why you can’t learn a new language, why you can’t learn to dance… “I’m just big-boned.” “I’ve never been good with math.” “I’m too old.” “I don’t have time.” “I’ve always had […]

In your Easter Bonnet…and other musings
Here’s a safe bet: If you see any Easter bonnets today, they’ll adorn the head of someone under 8 or over 80. Almost nobody wears them anymore even if they are made with Easter candy! I think they went the way of white gloves and black patent leather shoes. But candy? chocolate candy? Remember […]
What’s on your “Not-To-Do” list?
On the path to your happiness, your peace, and your success, you can find that what you stop doing is just as important as the things you start doing. In order to create something real, something good, something rewarding, you need to carve out and throw out all the possible ways that something will not be. […]
I am..?
Because I remember that every time I say “I am…(insert quality)” I am claiming and affirming that quality for myself, I have made a list of qualities I WANT to claim and affirm instead! Rather than I am tired/confused/irritated/sad/angry…I have focused on claiming positive qualities. As an ex-English teacher, I know lots of words to choose from! […]

Musing on Crayons
Did we really learn everything we needed to know in kindergarten? Maybe much more than we think! I know the pictures I drew were more fun and lively when I used more of the different colors! And some sure do have weird names! Here are a few of my favorite names (those folks were really creative!): […]
