Oh I am just like you Marie, I love quotations – I think the right one can turn your day or even your life around if you let the truth of it permeate you. It is hard to choose just one but if I had to choose, I would say it is Theroux’s maxim:”
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

I love this quote from Mark Twain and it is one I think about often in my life
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

And thank you Brenda for sharing your quotation motivation with us today. That quote about bathing is deceptively simple isn’t it? It can be applied to so many things in life – it is not enough to meditate or exercise or pray just once – we need to continually cleanse ourselves with its power each day. Great thought Brenda!
