Quote of the Week


People know you for what you've done, not for what you plan to do.  - Author Unknown

This is true about each of us, no matter our accomplishments or failures.  In either case, it is what we did that is remembered.  All grand plans go out the window unless we follow through with action.  Those who do not are soon forgotten.

Another box - just for me?

  1. Interesting quote. I think we are a culture that gets really interested in current actions but so quickly move on to the next best thing that even what we do might be overlooked...well unless it is really infamous or unusual in some way.

    The picture is awesome. What is it about kitties that love boxes?

  2. Unfotunately, I've often done stuff that I'd rather people forgot but that they've instead remembered in all the technicolor glory. :-)

  3. Hi Linda - so true isn't it ... I got reminded when residents up at the Nursing Centre said we miss you - I'll get back to going more often and regularly ...

    The Now is so important isn't it - thinking of others and smiling, nothing going on with us is that important - others have much worse fates.

    Though I think I'll be a cat in afterlife .. in your house! And a tortoiseshell one at that!!

    Cheers Hilary

  4. Cheryl- Yeah, if it's not right under our noses we forget it. Sophie never met a box she didn't love, or at least try to work her way into.

    Melea- Indeed! A plan is nothing without action.

    Nicky- I think we have all got one of those stories.

    Hilary- You might check with our resident cats before you decide. They might have some stories to tell you! ;)
