Did You Get There All By Yourself? And, Trot? Trot.

I saw a quote recently in a book.
The book is titled, bluntly, "Thank You."

The quote may not be perfectly reproduced, and there is not very much on the internet about the mysterious quote! But I am sharing it anyway. You think about it.

"Somewhere along the way someone saw something in you, and that's why you are where you are today. Thank them."

--Dan Ward (who could be anyone from a professional rugby player to a "complete lifestyle resort collection.") It is according to my team's research!

The End. Get ready for the Turkey Trot

Only if you like trotting.

In a trotting way,
Alice

3 Quotes That May Or May Not Inspire You

The other day I ran in a 1/2 marathon. I saw a couple of runners that had a shirt that said, basically,
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Ok, I guess it's Phillipians 4:13.
It's not some made-up quote.

The point: Wow, I thought. If I only had a shirt that said that, I could instantly do all things ... like win the lottery?

(There is no dis intended for any church-going friends).

New topic.
Here are 3 quotes, all worth bearing in mind.

I am writing this because I want to share something positive today.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Famous prayer.

The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Steve Young, a famous football player.
This was passed on to me by my friend Gloria. Thanks! Read her blog. Do it now.

And:
Do not think of your fault; still less of others' faults. Look for what is good and strong and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.
John Ruskin, an art critic during the 1800s and overall cool philosopher.

The end.
Have a good Tuesday.
Thanks for reading my little blog.

"This S*** Writes Itself" And, A Quote Vital To Your Existence

Hi:
I saw a man at the Labor Day 5k and 15k wearing this shirt.

In case you cannot read it, there is a picture of William Shakespeare with the words "This S*** Writes Itself"
I took the picture against the sun, but I had little choice because I'm not good at directing people to move when I'm taking spontaneous photos.

Before I took the picture, his wife (at least I believe that's who it was) said, "I can't believe he wears it in public." No wife, it's great.

Here is a very useful quote from R. Buckminster Fuller, an architect, inventor, systems theorist, and also an author.

"I look for what needs to be done ... After all, that's how the universe designs itself."

Here he is.


Bye, and The End.
