Merely Day By Day

The internet has made me a collector of quotes.  It seemed a waste for quotes to just sit on my Pinterest board.  I thought perhaps I'd start sharing a few on Wednesdays.   Inspiration, quote, and image via  http://www.dayjobsanddreams.com/blog/monday-mantra-pt-23

In February we will be ready for it to end. We will tire of the bitter cold, the slippery streets, the colorless days. Tonight, however, we marvel at glistening white.

In a few months, we will wish for green, yellow, and pink. But tonight as the full moon illuminates the splendor. Tonight, we marvel in the majestic silence of a first white night. © Cathy L.
