Quotes of Note

You're born a male but you have to CHOOSE to be a man" - Herm Edwards

"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" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"Thankfully, our true roots are in heritage and not things. I just need to keep reminding myself that things are only reminders of heritage." - Keetha Broyles, June 21, 2010

"Tears lubricate the soul." - from "Finding Buck McHenry"

"Somehow you must come to understand that God is love, that love is the proof of God, and forgiveness is the proof of love." - The Priest in "Levi's Will" by W. Dale Cramer

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

"Fairy Tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

The 7 X 7 Award, AKA: An Award With No Name - - -

.

At least I can't find name for it. Just my kind of an award. :-)

It comes to me from Lynn at "It's a July Thing" , who said some very nice things about those to whom she gave it.

To receive it I need to share seven things about myself and then pass it on to seven folk, who in turn should share their seven things in a post on THEIR BLOGS.

Seven Keetha Things:

1) I smile a lot
2) I have hair in between my toe knuckles.
3) I need to use deodorant - - - so I do!
4) According to my students, I was born before the beginning of time.
5) According to my father, I USED to be little.
6) I HATE phone calls, making and taking them.
7) I am a procrastinator of the nth degree - - - especially about things I hate like paying bills and making phone calls.

Now, I was truly in need of an award icon for my sidebar list. If YOU are reading this, and are also in need of such an icon, then I pass it along to YOU, and I only hope there are seven of you!!!

Julie said...: Oh, so agree with you on the phone thing. I would much rather text or email-better yet, talk face to face!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that dislikes talking on the phone!; May 27, 2009 at 7:45 AM
Kristin - The Goat said...: I'm not very good at the email thing. I get emails then I think my brain goes completely dead because I don't reply. Sheesh.

I don't mind talking on the phone if I'm talking about my rental condos. But I've got to call a few folks today because I didn't do it yesterday and I'm afraid I won't do it today. Just don't wanna!

dana said...: Loved reading your list. I used to have #2, but after discussing this phenomenon with my close group of friends (we have some strange conversations) I rechecked and PRESTO--hairless toes. I guess aging takes care of a few stray hairs on the toes, but they travel to the upper lip! :( I am totally like you on #7. Like right this minute, I should be getting ready to go to my annual appt. with my gyn, but I'd rather be sitting here reading blogs!! I really must get ready! :)

Bye! Dana; May 27, 2009 at 9:11 AM
Chari at Happy To Design said...: Hello Friend...

Congratulations on your blog award...so well deserved Darlin'! I loved reading your "7 things"...and you have a beautiful smile! It's the first thing that I always notice in all of your photos!!!

Congratulations on your 34th wedding anniversary too! Happy Anniversary!!! I loved looking through all of your wedding photos...sure brought back alot of memories for me! I married my first husband in 1974. The attire all looked so familiar! Hehe! Ohhh yes...and those hip-hugger bell bottom jeans...did you ever think that they would be the fab of today's teens? Hehe!!! I certainly was impressed with your Sis...what a pretty bridesmaid dress...and the fact that she can still wear it...awesome! Sure wished that I could say the same about my clothing size in the 70's!

Well my friend, I'm so glad that you came by and checked out the metamorphosis of my frenchy studio/office! You asked if the violin was real...No, it's actually very small and was just a toy of my husbands. I would have loved learning the violin...I love the sound of string instruments!

Have a wonderful Wednesday, Darlin'!

Tonja said...: I'm with you on the phone thing. The more I use the computer...the less I enjoy talking on the phone. Maybe because I speak sometimes before I think...and on the computer, I have time to backspace and reword things before I press 'send'...

Enjoyed your 7 things!; May 27, 2009 at 3:07 PM
Betty Jo said...: Except for the hair on your toes, and your students (I don't teach) that could be my list. Wait! I don't do lists. I hate doing them, but I love reading those written by others. Thanks for sharing more of your sweet self. ♥; May 28, 2009 at 6:10 PM
