And While We’re on the Subject
“It’s snowing still,” said Eeyore gloomily.
“So it is.”
“And freezing.”
“Is it?”
“Yes,” said Eeyore. “However,” he said, brightening up a little, “we haven’t had an earthquake lately.”
~A.A. Milne
“2020…(the year) many households went from, ‘It’s great to get this time together!’ to, ‘Why are you chewing so loud?’” ~Steve Maraboli
“I find it astonishing that in 2020, a smile or a hug has become an act of revolution.” ~Kara D. Spain
“I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will.” ~Antonio Gramsci
“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.” ~Oscar Wilde
“Life has no remote….get up and change it yourself!” ~Mark A. Cooper
“You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.” ~Helen Keller
“I meant to write about death, only life came breaking in as usual.” ~Virginia Woolf
Excellent mix. I suggest the lines from my picture book—“Someday We Will”—since we are all in need of a bit more hope to get us through 2020 and beyond.

Love the quotes, especially the one about changing your own life.
Here’s a quote from a dream I had recently about a little boy standing alone by the side of a busy street, about to cry. I asked him, “Aw, honey, what’s wrong?” With the tears spilling over, he cried, “I haven’t had a hug today!!!” (Yes, I hugged him. Lock me up.)

Awww. I think it’s safe to hug in dreams, Annie. In RL I do my share of socially-distanced air-hugging.

Antonio Gramsci’s quote saddens me. I did not know who he was or what he stood for, but I did a quick read on Wikipedia, and that saddened me even more. I would, due to my worldview, state what he said differently. I would say “I am a pessimist because of intelligence and due to my own sinfulness, but I am an optimist because of God and his Word and promises.”
