Next to being witty yourself, the best thing is being able to quote another’s wit. ~ Christian Nestell Bovee
I love quotes. For me, they are a spring board to conversation; or in my case, writing blog posts.
Quotes can inspire, motivate, or just plain make you laugh. They can get deep enough to explain the life intricacies, or they can make absolutely no sense at all. They are vehicles explaining some part of life at a moment when you can’t come up with exactly the right words.
Long way to say, I don’t have a favorite quote. I have many and if I thought long and hard, I could list my favorites from different categories.
However, I decided to approach this from a different angle. Searching my memory banks, what quotes do I use repeatedly and have for a long time.
The first quote that came to mind was learned from a friend’s father when I was 16. I remember it being impactful upon hearing it. I stopped and said, “Wow, that was profound!”
Wish in one hand, #$%@ in the other, see which one fills up faster.

At that moment, I learned the concept of taking action. Action is imperative in making something happen.
The next one is my earliest recollection around the time I was in 6th grade and I heard someone say:
If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it’s yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be.
Let it go. If the truth be known, that is one quote I have used almost daily since then. HA!
Tomorrow, what is in my handbag. ‘Scuse me, but what is a handbag? ::giggle::
