I have a quotes collection. When I find a quote I love, I create a baseball-card size of it in my document program, complete with a background graphic and print it out on cardstock. After cutting it out, I put it in my quotes notebook which is a folder of those plastic baseball card holders.
But I have to say, with Facebook and Google +, I'm starting to HATE QUOTES. There's just an overabundance of them. Some of them are funny; some are deep; some are just there. But, gadzooks, must we post every single one we ever see? And, I must add, are any of those quotes making a difference in our own lives; as in, are we acting on them? If I post a quote about creativity, it better because I'm out to be more creative. If I post a quote about being kinder, I would hope it's because I'm going to try to be just that. If I'm reading or posting even just a handful everyday, what on earth do I still have time for? It seems like the theme of many quotes is living life well and to the fullest and with the people you love. If I'm constantly reading quotes, I won't be doing any of that. So today, I'll do and be and love, without all the quotes.
