3-2-1 Quote Me! Challenge

A very surprised, yet heartfelt, “Thank you” to Poetry for Healing’s Christine Bolton for nominating me for this challenge. She writes wonderful, thought-provoking poetry. Check her out!

This fun challenge is like a chain letter. A chain challenge, if you will, created by A Guy Called Bloke and K9 Doodlepip! He creates a daily topic, posts two quotes on the topic, and nominates three bloggers, who will then post their two quotes on the same topic and nominate another three bloggers. The daily topic is open-ended, having no particular deadline and overlapping with prior and future challenges.

Rules:

  1. Thank the Selector who nominated you. (Although not an actual rule, it’s only polite to also thank Bloke and Doodlepip.)
  2. Post two quotes on the given topic.
  3. Nominate three bloggers to take part in the 3-2-1 Quote Me! Challenge.

The chosen topic is:  “Tomorrow”

My Quotes:

  1. From Margaret Mitchell:

 

2. From Mark Twain (courtesy of TwainQuotes.com)

Sup

Hey, bro! ‘Sup? Coming to supper? I suppose. C’mon, support my culinary efforts. Moral support? Financial support? Either way, better than support hose. More like, what you call ’em, those support walls that hold the whole house up. The ones that have support beams? Yeah, those are support walls. Free-standing, unlike supply chains. One link drops out, and support is gone. What’s the economic name for that? Supply-side economics? Trickle down economics? Aw, just take a couple vitamin supplements. That’ll supplement the break in the chain. What ARE you talkin’ ’bout? All I asked is if you’re coming to supper!

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE: NEVER FORGET

((c) Monte Wolverton)

democracy

Tried all day to write something for the Fourth. Just couldn’t. Started several little stories full of parades, beer, and fireworks. Every one seemed too frothy. Started an essay about freedom in a country that jails BABIES because they had the bad fortune to have parents fleeing violence and poverty, looking for a better life for those babies. I couldn’t focus my thoughts today. On this Independence Day I was too overwhelmed at the all-encompassing assault on the democracy we have fought so hard for over the past 240-odd years. An assault led by our commander-in-chief, our Congress, and their financial backers. Other people have better expressed my thoughts today.

Peace out.
