I Realized, Too

Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 25, 2026| Leave a Comment »

I realised that I had things in my head not like what I had been taught — not like what I had seen — shapes and ideas so familiar to me that it hadn’t occurred to me to put them down.  I decided to stop painting, to put away everything I had done, and to start to say the things that were my own.  This was one of the best times in my life.  There was no one around to look at what I was doing — no one interested — no one to say anything about it one way or another.  I was alone and singularly free, working on my own, unknown — no one to satisfy but myself.

What Matters Most

Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least.
    ―     Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When I was young, I was advised:  “You can get by in a relationship for two years on love and lust.  After that you need money and friendship.“
Concentrate on the friendship and the money won’t seem as important (IMHO).
Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary!!!
May you have many, many more to come!!!
Love Always,
Mum and Dad

Happy Birthday, Bec!
Do the things you think you cannot do…
Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier…

(Just a couple of “ER” quotes to lift your spirits the next time you’re feeling a bit down or tired.)
We love you always,
Mum and Dad
