Hello,
Welcome to a new month!

Jan.2/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 391
"We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better."~J. K. Rowling, Harvard Commencement Address, 2008
My Add:
To imagine a better world, can be the start to making a difference. It can also be the start to creating a written story. We never know where it will lead us, until we take the first steps. (^^^)
+++
Jan.3/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 392
"To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk."~Thomas A. Edison (1847 - 1931)
My Add:
Even if we have been told for years that the stuff we have collected for any arts/ crafts we plan on doing is junk... it does not mean it is. It could be just that they don't know what we want to do with it, or their lack of imagination. But it always helps to "weed through" it, just in case we do have some "junk" in there. Spreading the Love of creativity!!! (^^^)
+++
Jan.4/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 393
"Imagination is the one weapon in the war against reality."~Jules de Gaultier
My Add:
When reality gets us down, imagination can sometimes "kick in". When this happens we never know what "adventure" we may have. It could bring us "down" with negative thoughts, but it better when we become inspired from it. Many WICKED (in a good way of course) things have come out of negative situations, opinions, etc... by simply seeing where improvements are needed. Keeping an open & optimistic attitude doesn't hurt either. Sending "good vibes" your way...
HAPPY HUMP DAY!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.5/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 394
"Imagination is more important than knowledge..."~Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
My Add:
Why? Because without imagination many of the "what if"s that develop into knowledge, would be seriously lacking "out of the box" thinking that is so needed for progression/ innovation. HAPPY THIRSTY THURSDAY!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.6/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 395
"Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination."~Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
My Add:
Imagination it the foreground to knowledge. With limits, we lose a freedom to think freely. Without it, we are "lost in the dark". So let your imagination run free, and let's try to keep it positive.
WILD WICKED WEEKEND WISHES!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.9/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 396
"When ideas fail, words come in very handy."~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832)
My Add:
In this instance, words would come in handy for "throwing the idea around" until something "helpful"/ a better way of explaining it comes out. Of course, they are also handy for the development of the idea, to come into reality. What would we do without our words... ? HAPPY MONDAY!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.10/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 397
"Every composer knows the anguish and despair occasioned by forgetting ideas which one had no time to write down."~Hector Berlioz (1803 - 1869)
My Add:
I have this to be true time and time again with myself. Even with a "handy dandy" note book, do I find that writing things down are not always given the time in some circumstances. All I can do is keep trying to retain the memory, long enough for that "golden writing opportunity".
Spreading the LOVE... HAPPY TWISTER TUESDAY!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.11/12 Inspiration in The Morning... 398
"This is my answer to the gap between ideas and action - I will write it out."~Hortense Calisher
My Add:
Any idea can be GREAT!!! If we write them down, it's the first action to bring them into REALITY!!! HAPPY HUMP DAY!!! (^^^)
+++
Jan.12/12 Inspiration in The Morning... 399
"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living."~Miriam Beard
My Add:
Travel can definitely do more than change one's view points. It can "stir the pot" of our imaginations, inspire us to do GREAT things, and even change our lives! YUP! Inspirations surround us throughout our many adventures in this journey we call "Life"! So my question to you is... What inspires you "out there"?
HAPPY THIRSTY THURSDAY!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.13/12 Inspiration in The Morning... 400
"I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones."~John Cage (1912 - 1992)
My Add:
New ideas bring about changes. Sometimes we think they are bad changes, but really they (more often than not) are NEEDED changes that bring about the "good for us" changes in Life. Some old ideas still "ring true to this day", but (more often than not) many have become "stagnant"/ needing change, irrelevant, or even obsolete. It's up to each of us (as individuals) to decide what "works best for you". After all, it's not their life... it's yours! WILD WICKED WEEKEND WISHES!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.16/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 401
"All this will not be finished in the first 100 days. Nor will it be finished in the first 1,000 days, nor in the life of this administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin."~John F. Kennedy (1917 - 1963), inaugural address, 1961
My Add:
To begin in itself can be an accomplishment, but it is only the start to the WICKED things we can do. And it reminds me of a Dr. Suess book/ saying... "Oh the thinks we can think, if only we try." & "Rhyme time"... So much growth has come from such thinking; that it is truly a sad day, if we "give up" on ourselves this way. Mondays don't have to be "manic"... (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.17/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 402
"Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crackpot' than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost."~Thomas J. Watson
My Add:
For with self expression comes FREEDOM, while in conformity lies sameness. And with that sameness, comes the trained & unthinking mind. Who want to be like a ROBOT!?!? NOT ME!!! FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM is what the people cry!!! Spreading the LOVE... (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.18/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 403
"The most powerful factors in the world are clear ideas in the minds of energetic men of good will."~J. Arthur Thomson
My Add: These are the "backbones" of our culture, technology, and even ourselves as individuals. For it's the good intentions for the "greater good" put into action that brings us our "evolutions" of yesterday, today, & tomorrow. Here's to all those before us that have "dug their feet in", and given it their best!!! For without them, MUCH would have been lost. HAPPY HUMP DAY!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.19/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 404
"There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them."~Emile Chartier
My Add:
With ideas usually comes change, and for some, the "fear" of it. Change can bring both good and bad "elements" to any situation. Those that hate them, usually fear the possibilities of "stepping outside their comfort zones"/ change. Those brave enough for any possibility, usually have adventurous souls and LOVE ideas. If it's researched, it can bring a "new light" to possible changes and be accepted easier, "molded to fit" individual situations, and understood better. I've always said... 'When in doubt, look it up". Leaving me Thirsty for more!
HAPPY THIRSTY THURSDAY!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.20/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 405
"This is my answer to the gap between ideas and action - I will write it out."~Hortense Calisher
My Add:
We can all "answer to the gap" by taking action! We just need to put our "foot forward", and take that first step. Motivation may not always be there. But if we at least try to break through the "barrier", more often than not, we shall "concur" the procrastination "hurdles". WILD WICKED WEEKEND WISHES!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.23/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 406
"What's the use of a good quotation if you can't change it?"~Doctor Who
My Add:
What good is a quotation change, if you can't use it? There are many ways some things can be "seen", it matters what perspectives we have. This is where "objectivity" can come in. To try to see every way possible, is easier to see not only "both sides of the story", but also to figure out what the actual truth is. Let's stay objective! Happy not so manic monday!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.24/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 407
"Nothing changes your opinion of a friend so surely as success - yours or his."~Franklin P. Jones, Saturday Evening Post, November 29, 1953
My Add:
Success comes in many forms. It could be through advancements in our business or personal lives/ jealousy from the friend - something that the friend did/ said; or a change of our perspectives/ beliefs. Whatever the reason, we must remember that they still are/ were our friend. Staying kind towards them never hurts, and could "repair" any possible "hard feelings" towards each other in the future. Spreading the Love... HAPPY TONGUE TWISTER TUESDAY!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.25/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 408
"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult."~E. B. White (1899 - 1985)
My Add:
While I attempt to "change the world" with positivity each day, it tends to keep me online ALL day. I try to break from this to get other things done also, but it just doesn't happen many days unless I actually have errands to run. SO, I made it one of my New Year's resolutions. Maybe this reminder will help me to change some "habits". Change is good. It can help us "tweak" what's needed, it brings a "breathe of fresh air", it encourages us to do better, and of course it can free our souls. What better day than today. After all, there's no time like the present. HAPPY HUMP DAY!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.26/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 409
"The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it."~Flannery O'Connor (1925 - 1964)
My Add:
If we can't "stomach" the truth, maybe it's time for change. The undesired truth, will always stay the same if we don't. It's like being "stuck in a rut"... We must keep "trudging" upward and outward if we are to "escape" such things. After all, when discovering ourselves we are always changing/ improving. And of course, we are like wine... getting better with age. Leaves me "thirsty" for more.
HAPPY THIRSTY THURSDAY!!! (^^^)
+++
Jan.27/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 410
"Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."~William James (1842 - 1910)
My Add:
Those who are "close minded/ hearted" will not welcome change. And will have a very hard time accepting any. We MUST stay open to change if we are to see any objectivity at all. And once we do see "both sides of the story", we MUST remain open or all can be lost. Some perspectives we "cling" to could be false/ misleading. Being open & objective, is the only way to truly make any "informed" decisions . From there it may not always be easy, but at least we will know the facts and have the opportunity to change. Let's always try to remain open. WICKED WEEKEND WISHES!!! (*@^@*)
+++
Jan.301/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 411
"Progress isn't made by early risers. It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something."~Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Time Enough For Love
My Add:
Every Monday can feel this way, and if we succeed in it, then all the better. But we must ask ourselves if we are leaving anything out, as "short cuts" are not always helpful if we do. As it can cause us the need for re-doing such tasks. Let's keep an "eye" on all that needs to be included. (^^^)
+++
Jan.31/12 Inspiration in the Morning... 412
"Those who speak most of progress measure it by quantity and not by quality."~George Santayana (1863 - 1952)
My Add:
It's all about supply & demand. Sometimes when we think we are done, we find we must "get back to the kitchen" to make more! I certainly feel this one today, after I sent off almost a batch and a half (of the 2 batches I made last night) to Zack's school this morning. So I am in the kitchen again making more!!!
HAPPY TONGUE TWISTER TUESDAY!!! (^^^)

Catch the start of this, catch the last one, or continue with more!
