A Couple of Quotes

   I seem to be going through sort of a "dry" spell here lately and I haven't been able to think of what I want to write in my blog. Or I think of something in the middle of the night, but by morning I can't remember what "brilliant" thoughts I had during the night. Rather frustrating, but not catastrophic. Today I read a couple of things in a magazine that I liked and thought I'd pass them along here. I hope that doesn't make me a plagiarist. Well, I will give credit to the authors, so as to be safe.

   All of these quotes come from an article entitled, "What is on your NOT-TO-DO list for 2009?" The first quote is from Casey Abate who said, "I won't let myself be consumed by things I cannot control. I've realized that 99% of my stress has come from impending "disasters" that never happened." Right on, Casey. I'm with you! The next is along the same train of thought. It comes from Donna Robison, who says, "Worry. As my mom has told me, worry is like rocking in a rocking chair; it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere." That's a great mental picture that can serve as a reminder. And one more, just for fun. Lisa Delestienne expressed my sentiments exactly when she said, "I shall not succumb to peer pressure to dye my hair. I am not going gray. I am just gaining natural highlights!"

   I think these women are my kind of people!
