Monday Motivator

Another Churchill quote. If you read a biography or two on him, you’ll realize that most of his career was spent as a critic of the majority in Government, so he knows whereof he speaks:

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

Back to normal this week, after a week mourning my wife’s Papaw.

And I found a doozy – Winston Churchill on writing. I loved this!

Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public.

Rent Jetsons: the Movie, it really holds up

Or not. We’ve been on a “space” kick around the house, so when Luke spied Jetsons: the Movie on netflix, it was a natural fit. For him, not me. This is a movie that was released in 1990, but clearly was from 1987. From 80s songs sung by Tiffany to psychedelic, fluorescent visuals, it’s a time capsule from the 80s.

And it leaves me wondering which of our movies / music / books will show these sorts of signs of aging. Time affects everything. Somethings hold up really well. Other things are Jetsons: the Movies. Probably a great idea at the time, but they just don’t hold up.

I’m being lazy, so

Definition: When you’ve woken up on the wrong side of the bed, stumbled into the kitchen, and then, as you fill the coffee carafe, smashed it into pieces.

All you can do is laugh!

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
