I got this pretty little journal a couple of years ago as a thank you gift from one of my homeschool choir students. I wasn't sure what to do with it for the longest time. It seemed too nice to be a run-o-the-mill daily diary. I'd fly through it too quickly. But with "follow your heart" written on the front, I couldn't exactly use it as an address book either. Finally, it came to me. I decided to use it to record my favorite quotes. They might be lines I find in books, cut-and-pastes quoted on Facebook, a bit of poetry, or favorite Bible verses. Here are a few, in no particular order:
"He who rises late must trot all day." ~ Benjamin Franklin
"There is no perfect time to write. There is only now." ~ Barbara Kingsolver
"There must be more to life than having everything." ~ Maurice Sendak
"For of all sad words
of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these,
'It might have been.'" ~John Greenleaf Whittier
"There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one." ~ Jill Churchill
"Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves." ~J.M. Barrie
Do you have a favorite quote or two? I'd love to hear it.
