a quote from one of my favorite reads.... which is sadly a fairly short list... i used to love to read....and they say the best writers are avid readers .... i was never one for spending time reading something that wasn't moving me. a simple story or historical recollection, fancy words or outdated english - unless i had some personal relation, was usually of very little interest to me.
i have to say i can find a lot more interesting reads searching the internet for random blogs and THAT has inspired me more than anything else to put more time and effort into my own writing...
"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it."
— Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia)
