Some days it is just hard to figure out a subject to blog about. On those days I go to my old quote files. It was hard for me to want to update knowing the blog about my mama, “Mama Said,” would go by the wayside. I’ll probably end with some of my favorite quotes as I am trying to get in gear to go to the next Florida Christian Writer’s Conference at the end of this month. That is taking up a lot of my thoughts. Many times I feel I am way over my head there but then I so enjoy the whole experience that I can’t stay away.
TGIF, people:
“And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” Anis Nin
“I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings of stone are worn down by water.” (Amy Tan)
“Lord, I am willing to stay in this prison for the rest of my life if only I may know you. At that moment I was free.” Kari Torjeson Malcom
“Prayer is a working instrument that does certain things, just as a pencil writes and a knife cuts.” Eleanor Roosevelt
“In search of my mother’s garden, I found my own.” Alice Walker
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” ~Winston Churchill
“A smile is a powerful weapon; you can even break ice with it.”
--Anon.
“By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.”
--Winston Churchill
“When you get to the end of all the light you know and it's time to step
into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing that one of two things
shall happen: either you will be given something solid to stand on, or you
will be taught how to fly."~ Edward Tellar
And now, smile for this one, sounds like something my mama might have said:
“If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning” - Catherine Aird
