Glass Balls

Two quotes today (after only 4 posts total in February...):

"You’re never going to get everything done. So get the right things done."

--Mike Vardy

This next one is one of my all-time favorites:

"When juggling as much as you are, remember that some balls are glass and some are rubber.  You can't drop the glass balls."

-- Nora Roberts, What I Know Now, edited by Ellyn Spragins

Small Delights

"A multitude of small delights constitute happiness."

Charles Baudelaire

Quick Review: Wild (book)

I just finished reading Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed.  I give it four stars.  It was very well-written, and Ms. Strayed was very candid.  I enjoyed the memoir; it reminded me of Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love (five stars).  Both memoirs are inspiring and worth the read.  If you enjoy memoirs and journeys, both of these books may interest you.

Quick Review: The King's Speech (Movie)

Watched The King's Speech this past weekend.  I thoroughly enjoyed it. Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush were both superb; I am impressed with the abilities of each, and heartily recommend the movie to anyone above the age of 17 ... there is language that may be offensive to some, but it is necessary (and only someone who has seen the movie will understand why).
