"The beauty of the world has two edges~
one of laughter, one of anguish
cutting the heart asunder."

"Rivers know this: there is no hurry, we shall get there someday."

-Winnie the Pooh

Quote of the Day~ By Winnie

Anyone who reads this blog on a regular basis knows by now my love for quotes. I think this partly comes from being an English major, and the subsequent years and years I spent immersed in the most powerful of books and awed by the beauty of our language. Also, in part, I love quotes because I'm constantly amazed at how only a few words or one simple sentence can so profoundly move me.

Yesterday was a fun day. While texting with a girlfriend she brought up Winnie the Pooh. Don't ask me why. It just happened that way. I'm a sucker for children's books, especially the enduring classics. Books for kids are generally so wholesome and simple and sweet, but hold messages about life and love and friendship that everyone can relate to. I spent some time after work last night reading through Winnie the Pooh quotes and I immediately felt warm and fuzzy. And so, here starts my latest devotion to Winnie and his lovely way of life. Hmmm, I think I feel like some hunny!

Quote of the Day by Winnie:

"When late morning rolls around and you're feeling a bit out of sorts, don't worry; you're probably just a little eleven o'clockish."

"If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear."

Quote of the Day~ Sickie Edition

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."

-Bertrand Russell


This awful cold is still kicking my butt so today I spent the afternoon curled up on the sofa in my pj's, watching a Sarah's House marathon on HGTV (my fave!) and hanging with my fur monster. Though it feels like a wasted day I both needed and enjoyed it (hence the above quote). Down time is good! Plus, it gave me an opportunity to start my Wish List for my spring redecoarating project. And, wow, is that list long (a carpet for under the dining table, floating shelves for a big bare wall and chic accessories are just a start)! Details to come, but for now....
I think it's nap time!

Quote of the Day

"You think you know someone. You think you know what they're about, what they feel, how they think. And then in one action, one moment, you think "they've changed". But then the realization sinks in. It's not the person who's changed, it's your perception of them that's changed. They are the same person they were, it's how you view them that's changed. And it makes you think... did you ever really know them at all, or were they merely the creation of what you wanted them to be?"

-Henry David Thoreau

"What we really want to do is what we are meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do doors open, we feel useful and the work we do feels like play to us."

-Julia Cameron

Today I am chasing a small dream and trying for something that I would love to do!

For last year's words belong to last year's language

And next year's words await another voice

And to make an end is to make a beginning.
