Ah, so many points to ponder:
“There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.” ~ Gilbert Keith Chesterton
“Taking joy in living is a woman’s best cosmetic.” ~ Rosalind Russell
“How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days.” ~ John Burroughs
“Beauty isn’t worth thinking about; what’s important is your mind. You don’t want a fifty-dollar haircut on a fifty-cent head.” ~ Garrison Keillor
“I know the world is filled with troubles and many injustices. But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn’t write anything without hope in it.” ~ Oscar Hammerstein
Good Monday to you! Writer Interrupted presents the Carnival of Christian Writers today, April issue. Enjoy.
A beautiful nugget from Candy Arrington , taken from Write to the Heart
“Writing is a ministry because it often involves time and effort with little compensation – at least in worldly terms. But there is certainly the reward of knowing that our words touch lives and write truth on the hearts of our readers. There is great freedom and fulfillment in being Spirit-inspired and directed. This freedom may even lead you to take risks in writing with a Christian voice in secular publications. There are many opportunities to minister to a hurting world. Enjoy the liberty of writing as the Spirit leads and watch as hearts are touched and changed.”
“May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” ~ Psalm 19:14 (NIV)

Recuperating from surgery this week, but haven’t forgotten about you. Got this from a friend today:
“I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor’s permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.”
I’m still laughing…
“”If you’re a singer, you lose your voice. A baseball player loses his arm. A writer gets more knowledge, and if he’s good, the older he gets, the better he writes.”~ Mickey Spillane
“I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.”
~ G. K. Chesterton
“If you don’t have the time to read, you don’t have the time or the tools to write.” ~ Stephen King
“The first chapter sells the book. The last chapter sells the next book.” ~ Mickey Spillane
“A popular writer writes about what people think. A wise writer offers them something to think about.” ~ Ambrose Bierce
