Let's Talk About Words

    "Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you had everything to do, and you've done it," according to Margaret Thatcher. I am  satisfied when I have had a day with my daughters or following my dreams and passions . As I near the age of fifty, I am more determined than ever to spend my days doing things that make me happy . I still will do stuff that my loved ones enjoy at times because that makes me happy too, but I refuse to spend each and every day making others happy instead of myself. I chose to be satisfied today.

"To a quick question, give a slow answer." -Italian Proverb     In school, it is important to raise your hand and answer  questions quickly, but in life, much thought should be given before you answer. Sometimes my first instinct especially with my children, ends up not being the answer that I give after thinking about it. Think about your answers.

    Vince Lombardi said, "It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get back up." This quote could not have come at a better time. There are numerous areas in my life that I am currently struggling in and need to "get back up". I need learn to be resilient. Author Susan Marie Schulhof http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"Good advice is always certainty be ignored, but that's no reason not to give it." -Agatha Christie     I can give the best advice to others, yet sometimes I have a difficult time accepting their guidance. I have an even more difficult time, listening to myself. I often wish that I would or even could take my own advice . Author Susan Marie Schulhof http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

    "Sharing food with another human being is an intimate act that should not be indulged in lightly," according to M.F. K. Fisher. I would agree with this idea of placing value on eating together . Since my girls were young, we always ate together at the table. Even now with my older daughters at college, my youngest daughter and I still eat at the table together when she is home. It would be easy to start sitting in front of the television, but I appreciate eating together . Author Susan Marie Schulhof http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com

"When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced; live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice." -White Elk     This will be a short post, but an important one...just think about your own legacy. I am writing stories that hopefully will live on after my death. How will you be remembered? What will you leave the world? http://www.amazon.com/Susan-Marie-Schulhof/e/B00IBPFHV8 Read my words and see my quotes  at http://susanmarieschulhof.blogspot.com or follow my page at            https://www.facebook.com/susanmarie.schulhof.7?ref=hl
