I've always kind of (secretly, in my head only) made fun of people who put inspirational quotes up around their homes. It seemed overly personal or cheesy or something. I was just Not a Quote Person, if you know what I mean.
Only, now I find myself with quotes everywhere. There's this one in a small frame by the bed (on my new Ikea Edland nightstand!)
It reads: "Finish this day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense." - Emerson [Quotable Card from Amazon]
And I have this lovely Marilyn Monroe quote in my bathroom: "Imperfection is beauty. Madness is genius. It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than to be absolutely boring." [Wall decal from Etsy]
Finally, this one is hanging in my kitchen (ignore the weird flesh colored wall -- it will soon be
green). [Poster from Etsy, frame from Michael's]
So it seems as if I am a Quote Person after all. I just hadn't found the right quotes yet. I chose these because each reminds me to be myself, to let things go, and to realize that everything IS going to be alright eventually.
Are you a Quote Person? What's your favorite?
