Do you ever find yourself coming across amazing photos or quotes while searching the web or prepping for a blog post? You may then admire it and then decide to save it just in case you want to remember it?
I thought I would share a bit of a few that I love and find inspirational.
Lucille Ball

Doris Day
"There were times when I wasn't always up. Everything could be calm and peaceful, then the next day the bottom dropped out. What can you do? Moan and groan and feel sorry for yourself? No, you pull yourself up by your bootstraps and you get on with life."

Which did you like best? I just love hearing what other people think or thought and what their personal beliefs or philosophies were. It's fascinating.
Frost's is my favourite, but they're terrific and could easily each spark the inspiration needed for a blog post unto themselves.
ReplyDeleteI save quotes that speak to me as well. Some in a Word document, others on Pinterest and refer back to them frequently (especially when writing my Saturday Snapshots posts, as each one kicks off with a meaningful quote).

Don't know how I missed this post. I love the wise words you shared here. Bettie Page and Colin Firth are my faves, as if that's not obvious because I love them both. {Okay, I'm head over heels in love with Colin. LOL!}
ReplyDeleteI knew that I loved Colin Firth. Awwww... what a man! ;)
