Starting small

 With the writing that is. It will take awhile to get back in the groove so to speak - a phrase that was popular in my youth, but that is probably no longer ever used.

I have mentioned several times how much I love “A THOUGHT FOR TODAY” from Wordsmith.

This one is from several years ago, but ever so pertinent to our lives at the moment.

With a world filled with seemingly only bad news and problems one needs to keep Joseph Addison’s (1672-1719) saying in mind.

« Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for«.”

I also take note that he ended his sentence with a preposition – something that I have spent my whole life trying to avoid. I guess there’s room for change.

 

Love those thoughts

 A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

 We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming. -Wernher von Braun, rocket scientist (23 Mar 1912-1977)

 

Amen, amen, amen

This is one of those perfect quotes in that it totally fits most of our lives. I am sadly behind on tax prep, on e-mails, on contacting long-standing friends: you name it, I’m behind. And drowning in paper.

 

This morning as I was searching for something I did finally file about 20 pieces of paper. Maybe I should start one of my lists again (every once in awhile I make a list of 5 items, one usually is file 20 pieces of paper, two is normally throw out 20 pieces of paper, three is throw-out x items, four is put away x items and five usually concerns whatever photo project I think is the most urgent.

 

Needless to say I am also behind in all of them and as the cold wind has finally died down, a walk in the sun is much more attractive! Resist she says to herself, swim out of some of the paper!

 

And credit where credit is due, the quote is from one of my favorite websites: wordsmith.org – a word-a-day.
