Hopeful

I found this on Pinterest tonight, a quote I loved once and had forgotten. I'm holding onto it again. Thank you, Emily Dickinson.

On my mind

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." 

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Words of wisdom for the wall

Look what I just won from the lovely blog Swedish House! Got a comment on my blog this morning telling me to come by for a bit of good news so I popped over to discover I'd won this quirky print, offering up all sorts of good advice (I especially like Drink Tea and Write Letters... am very good at both those things). Good news indeed! Our walls are rather bare and I'm loving finding things to hang on them. My mom just got me a fab Keep Calm and Carry On print (which Alan has promised to put up for me this week, and then I'll post a photo of it- yay!) and now I have this great framed print to inspire me, too. Thanks, Julie! I'll look for it in the post!

PS: "Kill your tv" is a good one too. Now that LOST is done, I'm cancelling the cable.
