Quote: Going For It

The enemy of the 'best' is often the 'good.'

Quote: Enjoy your Food

What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease.

--George Dennison Prentice

I think the media programs us to worry about diet more than we need to. Everything in moderation. That's what I believe. However, moderate portion size is something I constantly struggle with. How about you? What is your diet challenge?

Quote: Me All Over

Anyone who works is a fool. I don't work - I merely inflict myself upon the public.

This is an ad for Adidas, so I don't know who wrote it, but my friend, Dana, recently called my attention to it and I thought it was immensely inspiring.

Think of a goal you've always thought was impossible for you and then read the ad.


What goal did you think of? What baby step could you take TODAY that would help you achieve it?

Thursday 3: Name That Movie!

There's a popular meme called Thursday 13 in which every Thursday you make a list of thirteen things, but I don't have time for thirteen! So, I've whittled it down to Thursday 3.

This week I am listing three quotes from one of my favorite movies. Do you recognize them? Hint: They're all spoken by the same character, a man with the intials, J.C.

1. "Dammit man, the Doobie Brothers broke up! Shit! When did that happen?"

2. "What did you do, wake up this morning and say, 'Today, I'm going to ruin a man's life'?"

3. "My minimum price for taking a stranded lady to a telephone is 400 dollars."

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Quote: Mark Russell

The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline baggage.

Quote: Hubert Humphrey

Behind every successful man stands a surprised mother-in-law.

The Lost Years

I found a book of humorous quotes on my shelf and here's one that caught my fancy:

I have been commissioned to write an autobiography and I would be grateful to any of your readers who could tell me what I was doing between 1960 and 1974.

I don't know who this guy is, but he's funny.
