Quote of the Week!

"A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the other one."

~Baltasar Gracián

I'll admit that this quote made me chuckle. I'm guily of doing this. Thanks heavens for spell check. Although, some days even that doesn't help me come up with the word I'm looking for. *g*

There are days when I can't think of the exact word I want, especially when I'm writing a rough draft and don't want to stop long enough to figure it out. Sometimes I'll even put XXXX there until I think of the word I want.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend. It's a short work week for many folks. Enjoy!

Quote of the Week!

I thougth this was a great quote!

"Every smile makes you a day younger;
every sigh a day older."

~Chinese proverb

So rather than spend a fortune at the drugstore on creams and potions, just smile more. You'll feel better. Even if you don't look younger, you'll feel younger. Either way, I figure it can't hurt.

Have a wonderful day!

Quote of the Week!

"If all flowers wanted to be roses, nature would lose her springtime beauty, and the fields would no longer be decked out with little wild flowers." ~ Therese of Lisieux, nun and writer

I like this quote because it's a reminder that we're all beautiful in our own way and that's okay!

Have a wonderful day!

Quote of the Week!

"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." ~ Anais Nin

We each bring all our experiences, good and bad, to bear on any given situation. It's always good to take a step back and try and see things as they truly are.

Quote of the Week!

"Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it, because action has magic, grace and power in it." ~Goethe

What a powerful and true statement. Whenever you get in a funk, do something. Anything. It's like they say in physics--a body in motion, stays in motion. By taking an action, by doing something, you are pushing yourself forward. Even if it's only baby steps, it's further than you were yesterday, but not as far as you'll be tomorrow.

Have a fabulous Tuesday!

Quote of the Week!

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." ~Lao Tzu

As a writer, I really relate to this quote. Every book begins with a single word. The trick is to keep writing another one, and another one. Before you know it, you've written a page. One page leads to two and so on.

That's the way to write a book...one word at a time.
