I (heart) Mondays because...

some Mondays I find a quote that gives me just what I need to begin the week:

"I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something.  Say, instead that you are doing it...The most remarkable things follow."

                  Julia Cameron, The Artist's Way

For people who are stuck in the past...

"I use memories, but I will not allow memories to use me."

            Deepak Chopra

A Poem for Mondays

 Memento Mori in Five Syllables

Something awful may

happen tomorrow.

Some terrible thing

may be waiting for

mourning.  Think on this.

The car you leave in

never arrives.  The

voices you hear are

whispering lies.  The

hankie you touch to

your lips fills with blood.

Think of the skull on

the mantle.  Ponder

Boethius, et al.

Turn Terror away.

Make today quiet,

humorous, and good.

I (Heart) Mondays

...because I began the day with Vivaldi's Concerto in C Major for Violin, a bubble bath, loving thoughts of friends and family, none of whom I have to cook for or to clean up after.

The Writing Life

I shall live badly if I do not write, and I shall write badly if I do not live.


 Francoise Sagan, playwright and novelist (1935-2004)
