On Rest and Kind Words

As for my little vacation, I'll just leave ya with a few lingering images. It was wonderful...albeit too short, but restful nonetheless -- precisely what the doctor ordered.

A true delight, though, was coming home to discover that David Rupert at The High Calling had featured Whimsy Smitten in this month's Around the Network post. He had some delightful and encouraging things to say about this little blog, and I am blessed by the feature, particularly to be included with the other talented bloggers featured along with me. Thanks David! Go see the post here.

Words I Wish I Wrote

When you are describing,
A shape, or sound, or tint;
Don't state the matter plainly,
But put it in a hint;
And learn to look at all things,
With a sort of mental squint.
~Lewis Carroll

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. ~Margaret Young

To think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted. ~George Kneller
