Not exactly a quote but something to get you motivated on this lovely Sunday. I've made it my lock screen on my phone and I get my butt in gear every time I look at it.

I saw this quote on Staley's blog and thought it was to great not to share. Also it seemed really fitting for where I am in my life right now.

"The point is people, no matter what your situation, you have a lot to look forward to this year. Whether you are with someone you can hold close or yet to find someone to have close. I just want to say good love is on the way. Someone thinks you're beautiful and someone is going to love you." -john mayer

a throwback picture from Christmas's past

Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.
~Laura Ingalls Wilder

“I get worried for young girls sometimes; I want them to feel that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky and smart and independent, and not so withered and shriveled.”

"life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall"
--f. scott fitzgerald

fitzgerald

i have this habit of collecting quotes, i write them in planners, notebooks, index cards and eventually if they are important enough or relate to me or inspire me enough i write them in a little flowered notebook i keep with me at all times. it stays on my desk wherever i am, as a reminder i guess. sometimes i flip through it and i just feel calmed or reassured or whatever i need at that moment.

lately i have been collecting quite a few f. scott fitzgerald quotes, i have only read the great gatsby by him and that was sophomore year of high school. i barely remember what happened yet alone these killer quotes from it and other works fitzgerald did. i'd like to share a few with you all before i add them to my ever growing collection.

so here they are i hope you enjoy them as much as i do:

“It is sadder to find the past again and find it inadequate to the present than it is to have it elude you and remain forever a harmonious conception of memory.”

“I was within and without. Simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life.”

“Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.”

"I’m not sentimental—I’m as romantic as you are. The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last—the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won’t."

"Why don’t you tell me that “if the girl had been worth having, she’d have waited for you?” No, sir, the girl really worth having won’t wait for anybody."
