Don't know why! “On the other hand, women who didn’t marry became old maids, spinsters who slept in the attic, sat in a corner peeling potatoes all day, and were a burden on their families, like our neighbor Old Man Pucket’s sister, Louella.” – Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls, p. 39

Love this quote! Don’t know why!

It's funny what we're willing to admit we'd do for one another yet we annoyed or feel burdened if they ask us to do something menial. I absolutely adore my mother. I really would give her my kidney, but I'm so often annoyed when she asks me to stop by the store for her or pick something up! The next one I love is the one about money. Money really can be a blessing or a curse in so many ways. It can really bless a marriage or it can tear it apart. I love the one from the Happiness Project.

Sometimes I think doing something wouldn't matter because it wouldn't make a big impact. If everyone thought that way nothing would ever get accomplished. I changed my thinking on it and I'm glad for it. “Anyone who thinks he’s too small to make a difference has never been bit by a mosquito.” – Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls, p. 246
