A Quote For Thursday

I wish autumn looked like this in Washington. I do love the rain, but it makes my job so much harder. This photo by Kate Powers is pure magic.

Goodness, Truth and Beauty

I found a poster like this one on the Keep Calm Gallery, and Liked it so much, that I did a quick recreation for myself so I could look at it in colors that made me happy:) I always save quotes, and this one stirred something in my heart, and kept coming back to it. Here is my pink and gray version of the quote.

A Quote For Friday

I came across this quote while reading The Time Traveler's Wife. I've read it many times before, while reading To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell. It never really meant anything to me, but this week, while wrapped up in the book, it caught my eye, and my heart, and I can't let it go. My mom and I are off to see the movie tonight. I'm trying to keep the book and the movie completely seperate, so I can enjoy both without too much scrutinization of the movie. I'm very excited. If you haven't read it, go now and buy it. The Time Traveler's Wife is heart breakingly beautiful, a story that I didn't want to end.

Go, now! Buy it:)

It's a working weekend for me! Enjoy your weekend!

Friday :)

In honor of our trip down to see some of the most amazing friends in the world!

I've decided that my blog has been pretty boring lately. I have a full blog ready for Monday. I have to find something interesting to talk about too. I'll be gone all weekend visiting friends with my husband. Sweet, sweet friends! Yay! Have a wonderful Friday, and a wonderful weekend.

Monday

I've been thinking about the goals I want to achieve not only in the short term, but the long term ones as well. I went looking for something that made me feel... Feel, what? I don't know, but this is the one that touched me tonight.

A Quote For Thursday

My most favorite quote ever:

And a quote for today...

Words To Think About

No post today. I will post a baking masterpiece tomorrow, but I found this awhile ago and love it. A quote I always come back to, and thought I would share.

" To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconcious grow up through the common. This is my symphony." William Henry

lovely, right?
