Life is good, if busy again ;--)<BR/><BR/><B>Alison</B> – I loved visiting the Fun Monday group today, so thanks for the welcome. <BR/><BR/><B>Pamela</B> – I tend to write these on ‘post its’ and place them in ‘strategic’ spots until they become ‘fixed’ in mind. It’s fun learning what ‘resonates’ with each of you today.<BR/><BR/><B>Karen</B> – If I had a nickel for every time I’ve had to ‘relearn’ something …(ad nauseum)… I’d be able to travel lots more than I do! LOL It’s why I have little ‘post-its’ all over my house … quotes in the sidebars of my blogs and programmed into my PDA … because none of us ‘remembers’ all the time. One of the things I miss most about being ‘retired’ is the regular exposure to kids and children’s books to keep me ‘grounded’ … though Molly does her best to serve as a reminder to live now and laugh often.<BR/><BR/><B>Ivanhoe</B> – I’m glad you think so. The George Eliot quote ‘resonates’ with me lately too. I’ll be over in a little while to see what’s there.<BR/><BR/><B>I appreciate each of you visiting and sharing your thoughts.

Lately, I have truly been trying to laugh about things, instead of crying. In fact, my Karen Ann/Gabrielle Suzanne entry (with photos) came from a place of misery--I sat down in front of my computer and thought, I don't want to be here. I don't want to be me. And at first, I was going to seriously write about that--but then I started thinking about my name, and then before I knew it, I was laughing and searching the web for the perfects pictures. Choosing to write humorously from a moment of despair saved me on that day.<BR/><BR/>And Dr. Seuss--I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying reading him to Nathan! The man resonates with good sense! I was pondering that particular quote, thinking about the people in my life, and at first, I thought it was only partially true. There are people who matter who mind in my life--but then I thought, truly? Do they really, really matter? A solid no was the answer. <BR/><BR/>Why can't I remember this? I feel like I need it etched on my forehead!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09182248478422009913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-88775591286047670902008-03-31T21:33:00.000-07:002008-03-31T21:33:00.000-07:00everyone else is already taken. -- that was a wo...<I>everyone else is already taken.</I> -- that was a wonderful. <BR/><BR/>I wish I could memorize them allPamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-88052139137847722412008-03-31T20:15:00.000-07:002008-03-31T20:15:00.000-07:00Welcome to Fun Monday..I love all your quotes but ...Welcome to Fun Monday..I love all your quotes but the ones from Dalai Lamai are my favorite.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07609471622265969310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3728583087900011692.post-2426116120694503092008-03-31T19:43:00.000-07:002008-03-31T19:43:00.000-07:00Enjoyed all your quotes.
