Working on some clay projects for a manufacturer, so no projects to share today. However, I thought I’d share another “quotable” with you. Today’s quote is from Robert Frost…

I love this one & like to keep a copy of it at work. Sometimes it’s easy to want to avoid difficult situations & find some way around them. As if they would magically disappear over time (which of course, never happens!). It could be anything from avoiding that growing mound of dirty laundry to holding off from having a much needed conversation with an employee at work. Frost’s quote always reminds me that the best path is to take the issues head on. It is usually not nearly as big of a deal as we think it will be – and makes life far less stressful in the end! So what are you avoiding today?

Here’s another quotable for you…
I especially like this one when I’m at the end of one of those “everything went wrong today that possibly could go wrong” kind of days. You know the ones – where you stub your toe on the way to the bathroom, you lose your keys and are late to work, the price of gas goes up $.50 overnight when you’re on an empty tank, etc., etc. *LOL*

I discovered this company called quotablecards in the late 90s and have collected quite a few of their greeting cards, journals, & magnets. They basically take famous quotes and let their graphic artists work their magic with them. I thought it might be fun to snag some royalty free pics & do some quotables of my own on the blog every once in a while. I’ll use some of my favorite sayings & maybe share song lyrics as well. So here is the first.

So often I get stuck in that rut of “If only…” Do you know that one? “I could do this if only this weren’t happening”, or “if only this weren’t that way”. I forget to step back & realize that those boundaries & borders are all self-imposed! Step outside of yourself & dare to do something beyond what you think you are capable of today.
