(actually I'm doing much better...just really really really tired)
I thought about doing ten awful times you've been sick (mine would have been topped by the Christmas Eve/Day illness when I was a senior in high school...the ER visit and all), or ten things about pigs...but instead decided to do something a little more relevant to all of us!
SO, ten favorite quotes. I've already done this once here, but I'm always finding or rediscovering new quotes!
"I believe in pink. I believe laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing; kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles."
- Audrey Hepburn
“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”
- Dr Seuss
"a person gets to have her whole life"
(Private Practice)
(Grey's Anatomy)
"The fact that children can make beautiful music is less significant than the fact that music can make children beautiful"
- Cheryl Lavender
"Everything has beauty. Not everyone sees it."
-Ghandi
"The feeling remains that God is on the journey too."
-Teresa of Avila
"Use what talents you possess. The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best."
- William Blake
"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it."
-Edith Wharton
And a bonus because it always makes me think
"I do not reject your Christ, I love your Christ.It is just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your Christ."
-Gandhi
You're familiar--grab the button and sign mcklinky and then share some of your favorite quotes!
ALSO--next week's will be 10 things you're thankful for (and we'll do it on Wednesday so everyone can do their Thanksgiving thing). Plus, if you have any suggestions for future lists I'd love to hear them! I've been doing Thursday's Ten for years, but somehow doing lists that are relevant to more people are a little harder than just coming up with my own :)

Stopping by from SITS.
I love that Audrey Hepburn quote. It reminds me of something i read once but can't quite remember. Maybe the beginning of "Everything i need to know i learned in Kindergarten" or a Shel Silverstein poem. I can't remember. But i like the quote.
Well said, SITSta! And, yes, we must all overcome our crap...that's the most important thing, isn't it? SITS sent me by, and I'm glad they did!

That one from Grey's may possibly be the most true of words I've ever read. Thanks for that. :)
Those are all good ones! My fave:
