About the graphicThe gorgeous yellow roses are a picture of my Valentine’s Day gift from hubby dear. You can read the whole story of the blooms here.
After so many days in quarantine, we probably all need to follow Rita Moreno’s advice. Find something and be happy. Only, instead of coffee, make mine a cuppa tea.
About the graphicI found this Pixabay photo on Pexels. It was a perfect match for the Christopher Reeve quote I love.
Christopher Reeve was the star of the 1978 version of the Superman and subsequent sequels. But he wanted to do more substantive work, which he did as well as direct and write. In 1995 he suffered a spinal injury in an equestrian competition and he and his wife became major advocates for spinal cord injury victims.
The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, now run by their children, is dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by funding innovative research, and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information, and advocacy.

Hope leads to possibilities. We should always choose hope.
Being a trickster on April Fool’s Day doesn’t always work. Today’s meme explains why.
I ran across this quote from Akash B. Chandran and looked him up. He’s a talented IT web designer.
You think maybe he’s had a few April Fools’ Day pranks fail and that’s behind his quote.

Quote discovered on NYT and USAToday bestselling author, Joan Reeves blog
The photo is from Sentinel Peak in Colorado looking toward South Fork. The climb to the top is a wilderness hike, meaning no clear trail. Once you reach the peak you do feel closer to Heaven.
Thoreau’s quote describes the feeling accurately.
About the GraphicCan’t you see Charlie Brown saying this? I could and thought of all of those Charlie Brown’s who don’t get a Valentine from their little red-hair girlfriend. I wanted to give them encouragement. Chocolate will help.
In my opinion, chocolate can fix everything.
In February thoughts turn to love in a special way. Personally, I think love is meant to be shared year-round, but there is just something about this month that causes us to focus our thoughts on LOVE.
Years ago I created a series of graphics for my Wednesday blog quotes in February. This has been the most popular.
The full quote reads:
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Nor hath love’s mind of any judgement taste;
Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste.
And therefore is love said to be a child
Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.
Shakespeare’s words are said to explain Cupid:
I never paid much attention to Cupid until I read Shakespeare’s words. Now I see how Cupid symbolizes of love.
I ran out of time to find a picture to use to create a quote graphic for today and stumbled upon this fabulous example of procrastination. I know technically it’s not a quote, but it fits my current dilemma.
I procrastinated too long and ended up without an original graphic.
I do that too often.
We all procrastinate sometimes.
We shouldn’t.
We should Just. Do. Whatever it is.
POSTSCRIPT:
I did finally find a picture for today with a quote.
Edie Melson’s graphic depicting Franklin D. Roosevelt’s advice on how to overcome procrastination.
I’m tacking it onto this post to remind myself not to procrastinate so long next time. And you get a two-for-one Wednesday.
About the quoteResearching quotes by MLK, Jr. I found this. There were so many it was truly hard to pick just one for Wednesday quotes.
This one reminded me of what I used to tell my school age kiddos…”I don’t expect you to have perfect grades. I do expect you to do your best.”
And, now as adults, they’re telling my grandkids the same thing.
There’s truth in Mr. King’s words. We just need to be the best we can be.
