Eleanor is one of my all-time favs. She was an amazing lady and those are some very wise words.

These are good word for me to read today. I'm at a point that it's a perfect time for a change. Do I go back to school, do I volunteer for Hospice or have another baby. haha, which of those three choices will never happen?

right on!

here's my hang-up with that whole philosophy: what if i throw caution to the wind, give that special something a shot, and then i suck at it? i'm not the type that sees my journey as being better for having tried. i'm the one who says "see, i never should've tried that because look what a miserable failure i am."

what does eleanor say about THAT?

I love Eleanor! She was my kind of Lady.

love that! and it fits you so well.

I'm with Michelle. This quote sounds like you and your life. Are you reading a book about Eleanor right now? If so, I can't wait to hear the review on Goodreads. I could use a good Eleanor book.

That totally makes me feel better about my scattered interests and obsessions. Whether I can focus well enough to do something thoroughly or noteworthily, that is another thing entirely. I am easily distracted I see you as having the right dose of both: curiosity about many things and the ability to sort through and focus.
