This post contains bits of found wisdom, historical fact and trivia.
1. Found on a box of Celestial Seasonings Tropic of Strawberry tea -- "A ship in port is safe, but that is not what ships are for. Be good ships. Sail out to sea and do new things." --Admiral Grace Murray Hopper. Her motto was "Dare and Do."
2. Found in a blog that referenced Sock Camp 2008 -- "It can be difficult to admit, but if you’re not averaging at least an hour a month pursuing a hobby, it’s time to let it go. The space you’re sacrificing in your home is too valuable to store things you don’t use. If you don’t have storage issues, it’s still worthwhile to get rid ofyour unused hobby stuff. Every time you walk past it I bet you think,“I wish I had more time to do X. You don’t need that stress and guilt.If it were really important to you, you would pursue it." These words will help me go through the last box of cross stitch supplies and get rid of them. If anyone is still cross stitching and loves snowmen, I have a deal for you. Let me know.
3. From Peter Mayle's book A Year in Provence -- he references visiting a village during the annual goat races. He learns that an "empty goat runs faster than a full one." Who would have thunk it!
4. And from my own research this week -- the more technology you think you need, the more upgrades and fussing with your existing you will have to do. Why can't it be easy?
Hope you are learning new things every day with gusto!
