Why is it that when someone asks what my favorite something is, my mind goes blank? My mom, who is participating in this challenge via email, apparently had an easy time of it. Her favorite quotes rose to mind easily, and they were wonderful. They were also both from books, and I hadn't even considered using a book quote yet. Then I thought, "What about a song? Or movie? Or just something someone said to me once?" With that door open, we could be here all day. So, here is my conclusion...I don't have just one favorite quote. I find quotes that I can cling to for a moment. I hear things or read things that bring me comfort or joy during a time. However, I don't really write them down and cling to them. Perhaps I should start.
I guess I can share the following:
I cannot pass a Circle K without thinking or usually saying, "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K." Oh, Bill and Ted, you make me happy!
I love the plaque that my department at BHS had made for me that says, "We teachers are rather good at magic, you know." --Professor McGonagall, a wise, wise lady! Thank you, J.K. Rowling.
I guess I have clung to a text message I received back in October from my dad. This may not be exact, but he wrote, "You may not like him very much at the moment, but I know you love him. Remember that and work it out if you can." If you know my father--and he's kind of a hard one to get to know--then you know that there is more power and support and love in those few words than in just about any inspiring quote a person can find. So, thanks, Dad.
