"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in
one pretty and preserved piece, but to skid across the line broadside,
thoroughtly used up, worn out, shouting GERONIMO!!"
My MIL sent this to me years ago. She loved the quote so much that we actually used it on her prayer card for her funeral and my daughter and I actually made counted cross-stitches of the quote for my husband and his two brothers. This is a quote I very much want to be true about me.
Cool thread idea.

Just wanted to let you know AG that I knew of this quote for quite a few years and I have always thought of YOU whenever I come across it.

PS... I have lots of quotes I love... I just posted one on my new thread. I'm tired now but I'll be back to add to his tomorrow.
Many of my favorite quotes are in the signatures of YOUR posts here on the forum!
Here are a few more I love, though:
"To the world you may be one, but to one, you may be the world." - anonymous
"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?" --Ernest Hemingway
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. it's about learning how to dance in the rain..." - vivian greene (My T has this one in her office!)
"The shell must break before the bird can fly..." - tennyson

Draggers ~ I love the Dave Barry quote!
"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart." ~ Hellen Keller
“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.” ~ Henri Nouwen
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."~ Pablo Picasso
"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." ~ Mark Twain
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear." ~ A. Redmoon
"I don’t want to wait anymore. I choose to believe that there is nothing more sacred or profound than this day… The big moments are the daily, tiny moments of courage and forgiveness and hope that we grab on to and extend to one another...The life you’ve been waiting for is happening all around you."~ S. Niequist
