Things Worth Remembering

The three habits that lead to success are: Patience, Application, and Vision.

Take care: The person who will tell others' faults to you - will tell yours to others.

It is always better to be underestimated.

There are three things that are better than riches: Health, Freedom, and Honor.

Think swiftly, speak softly, act wisely.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…

“A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…” - Title crawl opening to all of the Star Wars films

 

I used to have a life. Now I have a website.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… I had spare time. I was beginning to wonder what that quaint notion of spare time meant, when I realized that I don’t have to have everything up and running and perfect and wonderful and just the way I want it, right this minute. Even if the website is live. Even if I see things that need a little tweaking. Even if.

    What doesn’t have to be perfect? I mean, doesn’t everything have to be perfect? And isn’t every single minute of every single day supposed to be dedicated to cooking, cleaning, tweaking websites, tweaking young minds to follow in our anal-retentive footsteps? I mean . . . ISN’T IT!!!!

    Sorry . . . I almost lost myself in my own psychosis. Your website looks lovely. Carry on with your life. ;-)

    Miss Maccy – Sure you could. I totally believe that…

    Ali – As your children get older spare time presents itself occasionally.

    Mom #1 – I think you’re channeling me. I meant a homeschooling website I’m making for the local homeschooling population. It is quietly sucking up hours and hours and hours of my life!

    I think the last time I had a spare minute was back in 2003.

    Problem is, if your anything like me, the minute you find a few spare minutes you will spare no time in filling the space with another task. I think I’ve forgotten how to be idle.

    I used to have a life too, but I think I lost it. Under the bed. In a broom closet. At the back of the fridge. Who knows?!
