Quote of the Day

I absolutely LOVE quotes. I love to read them, to analyze them, and to change them to suit myself. I have always agreed with Forest when he said: "Life is like a box of chocolates". He is right, you never know what you're gonna get, but I think he forgot something - you are never gonna know what you get, or what you could possibly get until you take a bite out of each and every one. Now, mind you, when I first heard the beloved Forest utter these words I was much younger. Too young, I think, to completely realize the significance of his words. Yea, sure, you never know what you are gonna get - big deal. Now I think of things in a far more introspective manner. I want to know what is out there and how I can grab hold of every opportunity. When I was younger and always looking forward to the next bit of "fun" when Dad would say, "Don't wish your life away". I would, in true daughter fashion, roll my eyes and say, "I know Dad". Now, at 50 (At least I didn't have to say it out loud) I COMPLETELY understand; I get it! I'm not sure I was capable of getting it then. So, enjoy your day - every bit of it.
