All about MEme Monday with Mommybrain and SupahMommy. This week is favorite quotes and why.
One of my favorite quotes is:
The average pencil is seven inches long, with just a half-inch eraser - in case you thought optimism was dead. ~Robert Brault
I try to be optimistic. It's so much easier to be pessimistic about everything. I have to remind my self that things aren't really that bad. This quote makes me remember that optimisim is out there and it gives me a smile at the same time which helps with the whole pessimism thing.
Another that Nick and I try to keep in mind:
Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans!
Nick and I live by this quote (line from a song? whatever). Sometimes we get so caught up in the day to day stuff we forget to enjoy the life we are living. We have to step back and take a moment to see the life we have even if it is not exactly the plan we made.
I love the one about optimism!
ReplyDeleteLove the Pencil Quote!
ReplyDeleteI like both of them. You definitely have to stop every once in a while and make sure you're living the life your making. It's hard when life passes by in a blur of little boy though, huh?
ReplyDeleteBoth are great, I like the second, I need to pass it along to my hubby, he has a hard time realizing that!
ReplyDeleteI like the optimism one. I might read it to my oldest after school. He tends to be a Debbie Downer.
ReplyDeleteThe pencil quote makes me laugh a little ... as an elementary teacher, it seems the classroom is full of eraser-less pencils ... go figure!
