Inspiration


I'm delighted to accept another blogging award, as it means people are actually reading and enjoying the blog! This lovely Very Inspiring Blogger Award is from the most inspiring Patsy and I'm supposed to tell you 7 random things about myself. I expect you've heard nearly everything about me by now, so I'm going to give you seven inspiring quotes to take into 2013:

'The strong are strengthened by defeats.' Antoine de Saint-Exupery

'A poem is the image of life expressed in its eternal truth.' PB Shelley

'Ask me not what I have, but what I am.' Heinrich Heine

'A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a broken spirit drieth the bones.' Proverbs 17: 22

'Do not fear going forward slowly, fear only to stand still.' Chinese Wisdom

'Inspiration is the art of drawing up a chair to the writing desk.' Anon

'There are two ways of spreading light - to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.' Edith Wharton

All the blogs I follow are inspiring in their own ways so I hesitate to choose only a few but I haven't mentioned the following for a while: inspiring daughter Vikki ; prolific author Paula Martin; fabulous Talli; talented Joanna; informative Carol; and interesting Jean.
