I had a brainstorm today! Along with my awesome postcards that started as a gift from a student, this brainstorm came to me while speaking with one of my classes today. And the idea is - Quotable Thursday!
Where did this come from, you may ask. Well, you know I'm going to tell you whether you ask or not, so here goes, haha!
I've been collecting quotes for a good 20 years. So far I haven't even filled an entire blank book, but I do have some awesome quotes. One of my very best friends in the entire world gave me the idea, yes, that long ago, because she had been doing it for years already. She has a ton of filled books.
So I started a book of my own. If I'm reading a book, article, newspaper, song lyrics, or listening to music or a movie or something... If something strikes me as really profound, hugely funny, or just totally sticks in my head, I write it down in the book. All different subjects, styles, sources. So yes, that picture is a picture of The Quote Book.
And in the spirit of Post Card Saturday, I'm starting Quotable Thursday. Today's quote might be familiar to readers of one of my favorite authors, Tom Robbins.
"'Things do not always turn out exactly as humans expect them to,' Conch Shell reminded them."
As mentioned, that quote is from Tom Robbins and the book I got it from is called Skinny Legs and All. One of my absolute favorites, it's hard to describe what it's about without it sounding strange. And tis quote might sound out of context a little, but only a little. I think people get it regardless. Suffice it to say, I think everyone should read it, ha!
Hope you all liked it! I'd love, love, *love* to have some comments about the quotes I put up!
:)
