When I stand before God at the end of my life,
I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say,
"I used everything You gave me."
~Erma Bombeck

  6. Hi! Thanks for stopping by! I was whining to my mom about a work-related problem, and she said, "Illegitimi non carborundum." Which, I guess, means: don't let the you-know-whats grind you down.

    Wish I could think of something more upbeat!

  7. This quote is part of my blog title and I loved it so much!

    "Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs... since the payment is pure love. ~Mildred B. Vermont"

    Because of this quote, I quit my job to care for my baby boy and has been a SAHM for 5 mths now.

  11. There's a quote I came up with that I use on my blog that I really like because it holds so much truth for me. I don't know about it being my favorite, but I'll share it:

    The beauty in misguidance is acquiring the ability to pave your own path.

  12. This is one of my favorites: “But love is the final reality; and anyone who does not understand this, be he a writer or sage, is a man flawed in wisdom.” (Sheldon Vanauken, A Severe Mercy)

    It might be a little too long for your purposes though.

    Have fun!

  13. I've found this one to be most true...

    "The cure for anything is salt water -
    sweat, tears or the sea."

    ~ Isak Dinesen

    It reminds me of how to come "home."
