I collect quotes in a journal. To pick my favorite is almost impossible. So I just chose a few to put on today’s post!
“Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eyes, In every gesture dignity and love.” Melton
“Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.” unknown
“But dear me, let us be elegant or die.” From Little Women
“Science without religion is lame, Religion without science is blind.” Albert Einstein
“Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.” P.J. O’Rourke
“Don’t borrow trouble.” from Jamaica
About places:
“… a tumbleweed-tossed West Texas town so flat you could stand on a cow chip and see New Mexico.” Ron Hall
“It’s an everybody – knows- your- business place where schoolchildren dream of traveling to exotic places like Lubbock or Abilene.” Ron Hall
“Oklahoma is a flat place where you can see a long way. Today, there’s not a cloud between Canada and the Gulf of Mexico so you can see really far. Today’s the kind of day you can stand in a pick-up bed facing West and see yesterday going away. Then you can look over your shoulder and see tomorrow coming.” Joe Hornsby
Day 1: Self portrait and 6 random facts about yourself
1. I was soooo shy as a child (still am sometimes) that when I would go to my piano recital’s I would never be able to go on stage to play. I would panic and always cry. I never did play in front of people.
2. My favorite activities in high school were Drama, working on the school newspaper and the yearbook. I was editor of the yearbook my senior year and my good friend Kris was my Co-editor. We Had So Much Fun!!!!
3. I am easily discouraged. If I want to accomplish something and don’t have Lot’s of positive encouragement – I never very seldom accomplish my goal.
4. I lived in a boarding house the summer between my junior and senior year of high school while attending Beauty College. My friend Cheryl and I shared a room. We had fun but now as I look back on those 3 months, I realize how young we actually were. (I am now 61 - so you know that was a few years back!)
5. When the husband and I first got married, it took me several months to make myself at home. It was such a huge adjustment for me. Another town, another house, another man!!! I was in culture shock. But he was so kind and so easy going about everything. It wasn’t long until I was comfortable.
6. I ran the 5K in the Oklahoma Memorial Run in 2009 with my friend Kelly. That was an experience I greatly enjoyed and will never forget it!
