Anyone who's seen my quote wall knows I find inspiration everywhere. I copy good quotes down onto any scrap of paper I can find in my purse. Sprout still has one saved in his cell phone I saw at Tjolöholm slott outside Sweden (As time can be redeemed at no cost, bestow it well let no hour be lost).
I wanted to share a couple of blogspots I found this morning full of good stuff:
http://www.brigittelyons.com/ - Unfettered Ink: Unconventional Wisdom for creative people on a mission
http://zenhabits.net/unrun/ - Zen Habits: Smile, Breathe, and Go Slowly
Last night, I went to hear Carrie Fisher's one woman show called "Wishful Drinking". I had read the book and enjoyed it, and thought ' hey why not' so I went. She was very entertaining in a way that made me think she'd be a great person to be good friends with. Her perspective on life is so positive. Granted, getting to that point has involved several detoxes, time in mental institutions, substance abuse, and electroshock therapy. I had to write down a couple of the things she said. The first is about Paul Simon, to whom she was married for a short while. They were a volatile mix to say the least, and when things went downhill, they really went downhill. "Things were getting worse so fast we didn't have time to lower our standards." I love that. The other thing I've taken with me is one of her lifelessons: Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
True.
Which is what led me to Zen and Unfettered Ink.
