daily quote for your perusal

One of my favorite blogs is The Chocolate Chip Waffle by Terresa Wellborn.

I read her every day and it fills my soul, makes me think and always makes me leave a comment.

Well, today she's inspired a whole post based on German word: Weltanschauung.

Weltanschauung: \ˈvelt-ˌän-ˌshau-əŋ\ n.A person's world view; philosophy of life; a framework through which to interpret the world.

These are my personal philosophies

  • I can accomplish anything that requires physical application IE assembling furniture, electrical work, installing computer components, sawing limbs off trees, etc. (I can't always, but I always think I can)

  • Sunshine is good for you

  • Rain (literal or figurative) can make you grow
  • Life without music is without flavor and depth

  • Poets should rule the world

  • Days should be 29 hours long
  • "A man should hear a little music, read
    a little poetry, and see a fine picture
    every day of his life, in order that worldly
    cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful
    which God has implanted in the human soul." -Goethe

  • Clothes do not make the man (or woman)

  • I can do hard things

  • The oldies are the goodies (unless we're actually talking about goodies. Stale M&Ms are not good)

  • Children are worth believing in

  • Much can be healed with ice cream or a good haircut

  • Faith is an anchor that can keep you from floating off into oblivion

  • Prayer is a person's personal grip on the faith/anchor

  • If you think something is wrong, you're probably right and should fix it

  • The choice is always up to you
  • We begin and end with family (to paraphrase Anthony Brandt)

  • Clutter=Chaos and vice versa

  • Sleeping is for wimps

  • Naps are a waste of time, but often an eventuality

  • Learning to serve others is a gift you can give yourself

  • Love makes the world go 'round and can make your heart stop (in a good way)

Did you take that photo? Because I adore it...

LOVE that quote by Goethe...

My problems must stem from no longer eating ice cream and going too many months with out a haircut...thanks for the tip :)

Poets SHOULD and COULD rule the world...I would vote for you.

Glad Muse rocked your world...as if I had any doubt that they would :)))

You are wise. I really can use your philosophies of life to better my own!
