The “Keepers”

These are the posts/information/quotations that are truly something unique.  These are my highlights- I hope you enjoy them, as well!

5 Positive Things

1) Don’t let someone else’s opinion of you become your reality.

2) Never let a bad day make you feel like you have a bad life.

3) It’s never too late to be what you might have been.

4) If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.

5) Begin each day with a grateful heart.

We saw these at Doc B’s Fresh Kitchen.

Epicurus said, “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” 

Quotations:

Gardening-

“There is a lot of therapy in the dirt.”  (a saying from my co-worker’s grandmother)

Food-

“Food, food, food, glorious food!” (singing- Mr. C, one of my wife’s former teachers)

“We have dinner, and it’s like the best thing ever!  Then, the next night, we have dinner, and it’s like the best thing ever!” -my sister-in-law, while staying with us (on my wife and I cooking nightly dinner)

“Cooking is easy. Doing dishes is the hard part.” – a fortune cookie

Writing-

“The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.” — Mark Twain

“Read, read, read. Read everything — trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it.
Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner
