One Liner Wednesday: Colouring In
“Life lesson from the nursery: Broken crayons can still colour” – Author unknown
Sometimes I feel a bit like a broken crayon, stunted and blunted and scarred by life, so it’s nice to be reminded I can still function effectively in the world.
My mum recently gave me a new colouring book plus a set of matching postcards to colour in too, and I’m really looking forward to getting started… watch this space! 🙂 
3-2-1 Quote Me: Truth
OK, so Fandango has tagged me in this 3-2-1 Quote Me thing, and apparently what I have to do is:
1) Thank the person who tagged me – hmmm, thanks Fandango! 🙂
2) Post two quotes for the dedicated topic of the day – ok, no probs, what a topical topic to have been given… truth – ha ha ha! (I wonder if Donald Trump is on WordPress?) 🙂
‘The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is’ – Winston Churchill
‘Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters’ – Albert Einstein
3) Select three bloggers to take part in 3-2-1 Quote Me – um, OK…

‘Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.’
Arthur Ashe
Highway to Hell
There were several different versions of a meme I remember from my Facebook days, that always said something similar along the lines of:
‘The fact that there’s only a stairway to heaven but a highway to hell says a lot about anticipated traffic numbers’.
I’ve no idea from where it originated, but it always made me smile… 🙂
Famous for Five Minutes
‘In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes’ – Andy Warhol
I don’t think I’d like to be famous, not even for five minutes let alone fifteen. I already worry too much as it is about what people think of me – family, friends, neighbours, work colleagues, customers. I can’t imagine anything worse than having the whole world being critical of me en masse, I think I’d either go stark staring mad or become a total recluse.
It seems to me there’s a refreshing freedom in actively encouraging a quiet, private sort of non-famous lifestyle where you just get on with your own everyday stuff in your own unique way and no-one pays you a blind bit of notice 🙂
