Time stops for no man (or woman)!
In the 1960s my high school English teacher, Mrs. Engstrom, used to say, “Time and Tide wait for no man and only five minutes for women.” Isn’t it interesting what stays with us for 50-60 years?

Love this one! My Grandmother’s favorite flowers were daffodils so when I was old enough to drive and work I would buy her bunches and bring them to her….pure love!
I think this was in your magazine, I love it and have shared it with many.”Give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way”.

“When God closes one door, He opens another.” My grandmother used to tell me this all the time to help me through disappointments in my life. I’ve passed this on to my children and now to my grandgirls. It helps me to focus on something bigger than myself and my wants.
I’d love to win this. I’m trying to fill a focus wall in my dining room with various wall art. This would be a splendid addition. The other piece of artwork I plan to use has one of my favorite quotes: “There is always a reason to be Thankful.” There truly is.
All you need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt 🙂
When life gives you limes, make Margaritas —- and be sure to call me!

Love the wooden sign. It matches my living room clock perfect!
My fav is : “As I look back on my life I realize that every time I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better. “
Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
There’s no such thing as a normal life. There’s just life.

‘Normal’ is just a setting on the dryer… and a city in Illinois. 😉

My favorite quoter, Abe Lincoln .
Better to remain silent and thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Don’t celebrate the harvest you reap but the seeds you plant.
I’m not sure who to credit this quote to, but my grandmother used it all the time when I became frustrated with people in my life when I was younger, “You can’t teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig”
You plant corn…..you get corn!

One of my favorite quotes:
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde
When life gives you lemons,simply smile, and when no one is looking put them in your compost!
Growing up had it’s ups and downs, as a young teen i read John Irvings “Hotel NH”. Keep passing the open windows has always meant something deep to me.
When life gives you more than you can stand, kneel.
My Mom used to tell me this whenever I was going thru a difficult time: “This too shall pass”. She was always my rock even when I didn’t realize it. Miss her everyday!
