Words to Live By

You thought I was going to say something so insightful and deep that it would indeed be words to live by. Ha! Sucka.
Today's blog is going to talk about the words and ideas that others have said or written that we choose to base our lives around. This thought comes after complaining to Liz that I had nothing to say today because I really didn't do much today. Looked at grad schools online, got a car wash, read stuff, hung my curtain rod...see? BOR-ING.
So back to words to live by.
One of my favorite quotes that I try to emulate is from Emily Sailers of the Indigo Girls: "You have to laugh at yourself, because you'd cry your eyes out if you didn't." It's so difficult to remember to laugh at the struggles you wrestled with at one time, the mistakes you've made or even the outfits you've worn. Verses are good too. I've always loved 1 Thessalonians 4:11
"Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody."
Do I live this? No. I don't know even where to begin to lead a quiet life, but I'm working at it and I'm laughing at myself.
At least I can say I am, for this is a blog and you just have to believe me.
Ha! Sucka.
That's it for my thought. I'm done. I'm spent. I'm sleeping.
