An Erma Bombeck quote

I am always on Pinterest, looking for quotes

and things that inspire me.

This morning it is this quote that captures me:

WHEN I STAND BEFORE GOD

AT THE END OF MY LIFE,

I WOULD HOPE THAT I WOULD NOT

HAVE A SINGLE BIT OF TALENT LEFT,

AND WOULD SAY,

"I USED EVERYTHING YOU GAVE ME"

-erma bombeck

These words are fantastically put,

fits my life style to the T.

Talent can be things you do, things you make,

people you love, how you reach out to others.

It has reminded me that although I am back to work

doing what I love to do, I still need to find a way

to get over the exhaustion and the pain that accompanies

the end of the day to do more than lie around

surfing the net, watching TV.

I need to craft, make stuff, write, read.

I know as I do more in a day my stamina will increase.

Yet I want to leave no talent unused.

Good Friday to all, mates!
