My quotes today are on warm weather... or heat! Cause its almost 90 degrees today and I am remembering how much I do not like Summer... but I am taking what I can from this day... its not as hot as it could be!
"At the entrance, my bare feet on the dirt floor, Here, gusts of heat; at my back, white clouds. I stare and stare. It seems I was called for this: To glorify things just because they are."
~ Czeslaw Milosz
"Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability."
~ Sam Keen
"Summer is a promissory note signed in June, its long days spent and gone before you know it, and due to be repaid next January."
~ Hal Borland
"Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time."
~ John Lubbock
"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." ~Author unknown, commonly misattributed to Mark Twain
"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit. A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world." ~Ada Louise Huxtable

Today my quotes are on Childhood... since *to me* Easter is about Spring, joy, and the innocence of childhood. Its so hard to believe that we all used to believe in the Easter Bunny!
"There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer, and the morning more fragrant than ever again." ~Elizabeth Lawrence
"Sweet childish days, that were as long
As twenty days are now."
~William Wordsworth, "To a Butterfly"
"There is always one moment in childhood when the door opens and lets the future in." ~Deepak Chopra
"If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older." ~Tom Stoppard
"Old age lives minutes slowly, hours quickly; childhood chews hours and swallows minutes." ~Malcolm de Chazal
"If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so indestructible that it would last throughout life."
"If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in." ~ Rachel Carson
"Children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see." ~
~ John W. Whitehead
Have a wonderful Easter!

My quotes today will be on intelligence.

"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." ~ Bertrand Russell

"If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome." ~Anne Bradstreet

Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest."

-- Matthew Arnold
"Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart."
-- Victor Hugo
"Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems." ~Rainer Maria Rilke

Quotable Sunday!
Another version of Toni's Quoteable Sunday... Today its about love... for Valentines Day!
Love is everything it's cracked up to be…It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.
Erica Jong,
There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
Love is, above all else, the gift of oneself.
Jean Anouilh (1910 - 1987)
“Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.”
“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.”
Brandi Snyder
“We cannot do great things on this Earth, only small things with great love.”
Mother Teresa
My favorite Sonnet by Shakespeare
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Love is everything it's cracked up to be…It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.

~Enya~
"People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one." ~Leo J. Burke
"The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late." ~Charles Caleb Colton
"A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow." ~Charlotte Brontë
"There are twelve hours in the day, and above fifty in the night." ~Marie de Rabutin-Chantal

Since my son just turned 4 I am doing this Sunday's quotes on Motherhood.
“It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.”
~Erma Bombeck~
“When a woman is twenty, a child deforms her; when she is thirty, he preserves her; and when forty, he makes her young again.”
~Leon Blum~
How true! I am 40 and I can agree with this statement.
"Making the decision to have a child-it's momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
"To understand a mother's love, bear your own children."
“Birth is not only about making babies. Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”
~Barbara Katz Rothman~
"There is none, In all this cold and hollow world, no fount Of deep, strong, deathless love, save that within A mother's heart."
~ Mrs. Felicia D. Hemans~
"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That is his."
~Oscar Wilde~
This scares me.
