I got to do something yesterday I have been looking forward to since August – use my new “The Little World of Liz Climo” page-a-day calendar!
Who knew the first cartoon would tie in so well with my one goal for 2018? (Sadly, Holey Moley was closed yesterday – we thought about going!)
This will be the third year in a row that I’ve texted the calendar each day to Steven and Mom. I enjoy this ritual!
The last two year’s calendars were all quotes, and we would sometimes have discussions about the meaning of them. I’m curious what kind of discussions we will have about these cartoons. Hopefully something… I will miss our chats if we don’t!
I’ve saved my favorite quotes from the 2017 calendar throughout the year, and non-surprisingly, they fit in to two categories: work ethic and attitude.
Work Ethic:
I love “Dream a little and work a lot.” It’s a good reminder that getting what you want often requires HARD work – not just daydreaming about it! You can see that’s the theme in these five quotes – work for what you want, and don’t stop working. <— not saying I am an example of that, but that I aspire to be that way!
Attitude:
I don’t know about you, but I can always be reminded to be more positive and patient, and try to find the wonder (the little joys) in life!
I also need to be reminded to be more positive and patient. 😁
It’s very hard to be those two things all the time!!!
I told my best friend about your vegan donut resolution, and she is going to make it her resolution, too! How inspiring you are. 🙂
I like the E.B. White quote a lot.
Wow! That’s awesome! Let me know when she gets hers!!!!
I really loved that one too! For years my blog tagline has been “A sense of wonder is the most incredible gift you can share” and I 100% believe that!!!
I love the little cartoon! How funny that it fit your goal so well 🙂
Right? Ha ha. I recommend following Liz on insta – she posts a lot of her cartoons and they’re so cute/funny!
I spend a lot of time day dreaming…that is good food for thought lol mostly I day dream about being young again lol so I am just wasting time. Ha!
The very first quote under attitude is the fix I need. I admit this aging thing comes in waves, a litter harder to take than expected.
LOL! Hey, sometimes you have to do THAT sort of daydreaming to get through the day (or a boring meeting).
What would help you with your attitude and feelings about that?
Hmmm…good question. If I could work a little less I think I could balance things a lot better. I just feel stuck having 9 hours a day sucked up at work I guess.
Is there a way to make that a reality any time soon?
I don’t think so…I need a new day dream lol
Ugh, I’m sorry 🙁 I guess it is time for a new one lol!
Oh, I love Liz Climo’s work. That’s a great calendar for the year, but yeah, maybe less thought-provoking and conversation-sparking than quotes.
Isn’t she great? I love her work too!
Yeah, sigh.
What page-a-day did you get this year?!
Hey, sorry to be a bother, but do you have a discount code for the Wisconsin Marathon this year?
I love “dream a little and work a lot” too. Sadly the opposite of what i actually do most days 😉
I don’t! I used the one they sent in the initial email 🙂
LOL!!!
