30 Quotes and 100 Reasons
Posted: Monday, October 17, 2011 by Travis Cody in
I continue to count down to 4 November with 30 days of Peace quotes and 100 Reasons to blog for Peace.
15 October
"It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life." Bilbo Baggins
16 October
"Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere." Unknown
17 October
"Honor the past. Live in the present. Create the future." Unknown
Reason 20: In the Lord of the Rings films, Lady Galadriel (played ethereally by Cate Blanchett, says "Even the smallest person can change the course of the future." I am just arrogant enough to believe that I can change the future by my actions, and so my actions include blogging for Peace.
Reason 19: Because I can't control what someone else is going to do, and sometimes I can't control my own circumstances. The only thing I have control over is my decisions...to act or not. I choose to act as a Peace blogger.
Reason 18: Because I enjoy the process of making Peace Globes...from deciding on a template, to figuring out the design, to manipulating the paint program, to pronouncing the Globe complete. And finally, I enjoy emailing my work to Mimi because she delights in receiving and collecting them.
Some very good quotes there. I believe them to be true, although I don't always live up to them.
