Writing Prompt - Favorite Quote
10:53 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
Today I am using a writing prompt, I think more to keep it short and shallow as opposed to my current frustrations being let loose.
Prompt - what is your favorite quote, why does it appeal to you? When do you draw inspiration from it?
So the first thing that happens is my mind goes blank. I cannot think of a single quote. I am informed that 'suck it' does not qualify as a quote. So I will reserve it as my current favorite phrase.
I did a quick google for inspiration, I am fond of A A Milne. His quotes are simple and heart felt. For today I choose:
“What day is it?"
It's today," squeaked Piglet.
My favorite day," said Pooh.”
― A.A. Milne
I think this speaks to me right now, where I am now. Things are starting to pick up as the New Year takes off and activities pick up. It is a reminder that today is the day that is important, not yesterday and not tomorrow. Tomorrow is not guaranteed.
I also think it speaks to me because of the recent loss in our family. It was unexpected age aside she was doing great a month ago.
A couple others I like from A A Milne:
“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”
― A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh
This to my husband - I always want to feel this way towards you.
“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you.”
To my friends, my girls, my husband. You all inspire and amaze me all the time.
“One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always having surprising discoveries.”
― A.A. Milne
And this because it is truly my mind.
