Just a week or so ago when I turned in some art my editor said "it looks like fun." I said "It's not fun." She seemed surprised. So I guess for all our grumpiness we manage to suck the little ounces of positive thinking into our pictures. Maybe that's why I’m so grumpy--I've given all the good stuff to my books!<BR/><BR/>meghanMeghan McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117528918335897128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-1156789592627559372006-08-28T14:26:00.000-04:002006-08-28T14:26:00.000-04:00Here's an obscure quote that I think works as well...Here's an obscure quote that I think works as well:<BR/><BR/>We are meant to be here.<BR/><BR/>We step from one piece of holy ground to the next under stars that ask... imagine for one second that you could drop in on a past life. What would you like to find yourself doing there? What would charm you, make you proud?<BR/><BR/>Ask yourself that, and the question of what to do in this life becomes so simple it's terrifying -- just to do that thing that would charm you, that would make you say, yes it's the real me.<BR/><BR/>Do that and you're alive.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09565452997974328700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-1156781426791602952006-08-28T12:10:00.000-04:002006-08-28T12:10:00.000-04:00Thank you for this beautiful post.

I always think it's worth it if even one child is moved by a book.<BR/><BR/>And this is up on my wall: "We are where we should be, doing what we should be doing, otherwise we would be somewhere else, doing something else." <BR/><BR/>It's from a Richard Stine book that I discovered back in college.alvinalinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04503984086482905226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31911817.post-1156774888012374562006-08-28T10:21:00.000-04:002006-08-28T10:21:00.000-04:00Thanks Grace, you are always inspiring, it makes m...Thanks Grace, you are always inspiring, it makes me feel more hopeful to think of books as little seeds floating out into the world.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes it is REALLY hard to keep the faith, but like you said when it comes down to it, this is what I feel like I'm supposed to do, and that counts for something.Anna Alterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16158290821419472185noreply@blogger.com
