“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
“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

Hey, there’s a shark down there.
Don’t fall mate
I’m here in Virginia, USA & if ever this country needed hope & inspiration, it is now, … yesterday & tomorrow. I found that in your simple, lovely post.
If you have no objection, I’d like to repost this on my Facebook page & share this subtle yet impactful message. Some of the quotes become even more meaningful & impactful because of who said it.
Thank you SO much, Mitch
My pleasure, Linda, and feel free to share it.
Thank you so much. Will share tomorrow evening

“Back away from the edge … very slowly”
The photo reminds me of being on top of Ben Nevis and being terrified as a parent did that leaning over the huge cliff holding his young toddler over the abyss. Still terrifies me.
Very understandable!
Wonderfully inspiring quotes. I love the one attributed to EEyore by A.A. Milne. Eeyore is as loveable as a storybook character can be. Thanks, Mitch. 🙂
My pleasure, Nancy.
“Is this where January through August went?”
;>)
Amazing
There are gentle ripples and beautiful fish down there! What a beautiful surprise; they fill me with joy. Yet I have no desire to go down there to join them.
Oh look!! I think I just found the meaning of Life!
;>)
Look over the edge
Everything’s coming up blue

Clever, David.
Eeyore is my favorite! He had me at “thanks for noticin’ me”!
;>)
Where did the eight months go?
why is my prayer is not working
In my family we all loved AA Milne and would often quote Eyeore and say when things went wrong ‘…at least we haven’t had an earthquake!’
Caption for the picture ”Don’t worry, I’m not too cloooooo…
Good old Eyeore.
No step forward. Three steps back.
My GPS said this was the right address to Starbucks…
How about, “Just Kidding. I’m not God. Don’t let go of the branch.”
😂😂😂
“Sorry dear. Are you OK?”
This quote is a truly powerful reminder. It teaches us that hope is not the absence of problems, but a conscious choice to keep fighting even when we know exactly how difficult reality is. A brilliant and grounded philosophy for facing any challenge
What quote are you referring to, Livora?
hey, I think you have both ends of the rope
I appreciate your collation of quotations, Mitch. I’m especially drawn to the words by Wilde and Keller. Hoping you are really well.
I am, thanks, and likewise, Christopher.
How far do I fall before this chute opens?
;>)
I bet I can climb down there.
Said the cameraman, I didn see nutin.🤫
Time Flies
The erosion (of freedom) is going to kill us all.
Ah, a serious turn. I like it, Lisa.
“America? Is that you down there? You OK?”
I told you to stay away from the edge!
I told you it wouldn’t fly, Orville!
;>)
Love how you compiled all
Of these into one fat YES and laugh!

Thanks, Cindy!

Fun post. The picture reminds me of an old guy I photographed sitting with his legs dangling into the Grand Canyon. I thought, “I hope he doesn’t have as much trouble getting up as I do!” 🙂
!!!
Lulu: “… *LATELY*.”
Great phrases, all! Especially Helen Keller, she is a representation of all mankind until we are found by Jesus, we’re blind, we’re deaf and mute, but mostly lost, and what truly is there to look forward to?
Great post brother.
Thanks, Pete.
I love the quotes. I intend to use the Mark Cooper one with one of my friends. He could be Eeyore these days…
Hey, do you need help down there?
Thank you for being with me, God. Even in the unexpected places.
Love it, Karen.

“Just keep going sweetheart. I’ve got a good grip on the rope.”

“Can you hear me now?”

“I don’t know what happened, honey. A second ago you were standing beside me. But hey, if your phone still works, it would be an amazing photo of me from your angle!!!”
And hey Mitch, thanks for following me!!!!
;>) Good to reconnect, Ramona!
