Even though I almost never end up using them, I like to collect quotes and anecdotes that speak to me. For example, I really enjoyed this observation that Laurie posted yesterday:
One morning, as I was making school lunches, I dropped a
bunch of cheese on my dog’s head…Now, whenever I am making lunches, the dog dances with excitement, his eyes sparkling with hope and joyful anticipation.
I want to live my life like that. Life is good. And you never know when cheese might fall from the sky.
Another quote that I’ve been keeping in reserve for a few weeks is from Winnie-the-Pooh. It pretty well sums up about half of the things I write or say (just ask my husband):
"I don’t see much sense in that," said Rabbit.
"No," said Pooh humbly, "there isn’t. But there was going to be when I began it. It’s just that something happened to it along the way."
You’d think I’d have more quotes to continue this germ of a post idea, but I’m too disorganized to find them later when I actually want them. Thus, we’ll end with a quote from Motley Crue that I’ve co-opted for myself as a statement of feminist empowerment:
"Just because we wear lipstick doesn’t mean we can’t kick your ass!"
