Monday again, a new week. You have seven days to enjoy, none of which you’ll ever get back.
Start your week off with words straight out of children’s books. Read and think about one quote a day and you’ll have enough to last you until February 28th.

I almost forgot this month is a leap year February, so here’s one more quote for February 29th, a Monday:
I’ll Always Be With You-Pinterest, imgfave.com
My favorites are the Shel Silverstein, “Where The Sidewalk Ends,” and the Winnie the Pooh quote. I hope there’s one that is meaningful to you.
Have you ever had months or weeks when you just want to throw up your hands and give up? One of those weeks when not much made sense, you asked ‘why?’ and the gloomy clouds outside matched your mood?
Yeah, I had a month of those weeks in my writing life.
But a great thing happened in the midst of the dark. I didn’t have a meltdown because other people’s posts and words (which I stumbled upon) lifted me above the clouds; especially this week.
I want to share these words and say thank you to the writers/bloggers who I came across in the past seven days:
“I heard a preacher say recently that hope is a revolutionary patience; let me add that so is being a writer. Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.” Anne Lamott
A revolutionary patience. I loved hearing hope described in that way.
“misery shared is misery halved, and joy shared is joy doubled.”
At Publishing Crawl, author Stacie Lee and Stephanie Garber gave encouragement with their post, Moving Beyond Rejection. My misery halved.
