Still working on the less-cluttery state of mind I hit the bookshelves beside my writing desk but as soon as I made eye contact with two pretty cloth-covered books, I knew I was done for the day.
These little blank-paged gems are filled with collected quotes that tickle me. Here’s some on life :
Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life ~Pablo Picasso
Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark and a large group of professionals built the Titanic ~Unknown
Laughter is the shortest distance between two people `Victor Borge
How difficult it is to be simple ~Vinvent Van Gough
Don’t take life too seriously. You’ll never get out alive anyway ~Elbert Hubbard
A few gems on writing:
Slow down now, touch what is around you and out of care and compassion for every moment and detail, put pen to paper and begin to write ~ Natalie Goldberg
The elevator to success is out of order. You’ll have to use the stairs . . . one step at a time ~Joe Girard
A synonym is a word you use when you can’t spell the other one ~Baltasar Gracian
Hush little bright line, don’t you cry. You’ll be a cliché, by and by
And finally, the ones I live by:
SOLVITUR AMBULANDO (it is solved by walking)
Culah is mah liafe
If at first you don’t succeed, try again and again. Then quit. There’s no use being a damn fool about it ~ W.C. Fields
I plan on living forever. So far, so good!
(This last one is in case the one above doesn’t work out);
Here lies my past, Goodbye I have kissed it. Thank you everyone. I wouldn’t have missed it ~Ogdon Nash
Maybe now I can finish sorting through the books. Then again—there are those three blue books on the end that need careful checking out. . . . and the fire is so nice. . . and it’s raining again. . .

Hmm it seems like your blog ate my first comment (it
was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had
written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any suggestions for inexperienced blog writers?
I’d definitely appreciate it.

Advice? Figure out what you want your blog for and give it your best by being true to what’s inside of you. Not such hotshot advice I know, but blogging is a personal thing. It’s you being you. Or me being me. Or jane blo being jane blo.

Please let me know if you’re looking for a writer for your weblog.
You have some really great posts and I feel I would be a good asset.
If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d
absolutely love to write some material for your blog in exchange for a
link back to mine. Please shoot me an email if interested.
Many thanks!

Sorry but this is just a simple blog — me spilling about the life around me. Thanks for the offer though.
