Quoteable Fridays

"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones."
-- John Cage (American avant-garde composer, 1912-1992)

There is so much to be taken from this one that I will let you all take a go at it first, and respond in kind. But how appropriate it is at this time in our lives, our society and our world...

Hope everyone had a great week and that the weekend will be much enjoyed by all.

In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary
-- Aaron Rose

I think the important part of this quote is the "at the right time". When my world provides me with drama and uncertainty, I am finding that it is helpful to just kind of sit back -- not in apathy, but in the faith that in the end, everything works out the way it is supposed to. While I may not like the outcomes at the immediate moment, I am finding solace in knowing that when I look back, with just the right perspective, it all happened/happens for a reason. And in that reason, it becomes the perfect thing to have happened at the time, and for that reason it is extraordinary. Sometimes the sunset or sunrise of a new day provides that "right light."

New Traditions

I have decided to follow in the steps of Lora and Joe and start a weekly post. As in on a specific day of every week, I will put up a specific type of post. Lora does her "What's on my iPod", Joe does "E Fridays" and sometimes "Video Mondays."

Welcome to Quotable Fridays. There is much to be learned and taken from things said by others. So as we head into what is sure to be a busy weekend for everyone I give you...


Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone
-- Lin Yutang

Gentle reader, before you head into a crazy weekend, be sure to stop and smell the roses, kiss your little ones or just enjoy an extra 15 minutes of sleep. It will still be there to get done tomorrow.
