I subscribe to “Daily Thought,” provided by the magazine Real Simple. It’s a thought that is sent to subscribers. I look forward to the beep on my phone around mid-morning announcing its arrival.

With summer coming to an end, I decided to pause in my writing and share a few with you. I hope they will make you smile, slow down and reflect.

“Goals are dreams with deadlines” ~ Dottie Walters

“Travel is 90 percent anticipation and 10 percent recollection.” ~Edward Streeter

“Leisure is being allowed to do nothing.” ~ G.K. Chesterton

And my favorite, which I hope to implement soon:

“You do too much. Go and do nothing for awhile. Nothing.” ~ Lillian Hellman
