Yesterday’s post reminds me of these quotes:
There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.
–Jane Austen
We do not remember days, we remember moments.
—-Cesare Pavese
Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.
-—Omar Khayyam
Enjoy the little things in life, because someday you’ll look back and realize they were the big things.
–Kurt Vonnegut
I have to include this one, even though it’s a bit of a downer:
Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed.
—-Homer, The Iliad
Sorry about that, but it made me laugh. It fits too perfectly for Andy and me — nothing imminent, of course.

Those are all good quotes. The last one made me laugh. It’s uplifting and a downer all in the same quote.
🙂
Some great quotes for the day. Too funny…Homer, The lliad. “Because nothing lasts forever, everything matters more”
🙂
…I’m staying put.
🙂
I’m sort of living life along the Homer way. If we are doomed I may as well enjoy what I can!
🙂
Jane Austin is ME… I am a true homebody and prefer motels over staying in someones home… we did stay with my parents when we visited. we also don’t care for people staying in our home, way to small to share… I don’t need the one about doomed, I feel like doom is looming already…
🙂
Interesting quotes. Thanks for sharing them.
🙂
I’d like to have these first four stitched on throw pillows about the house; samplers, even.
🙂
Good quotes.
🙂
Like them all.
Live every day like it is your last is my favorite, but I don’t know where it comes from. 🙂
I like that one too. 🙂
All three are good ones.
🙂
I like how quotes can spark memories. Do you have a favorite one that stands out for you?
Kurt Vonnegut’s.
My life just now is in limbo, hoping to have new base to live in, soon.
The ione allows me to make decisions for me.
Decisions including all kinds of things that make up home and living.
Anyway all the application forms and sundry other things in the hands another system
I hope you love your new place!
Good quotes. I do like my home it is my castle.
We are kindred spirits there. 🙂
