<—Backdated NOJOMO Entry that way

Challenge # 14 -What is your favorite Quote and why?
Challenge #14.1 – If your home was on fire, (Family, pets, and pictures are all out safe), and you can only take 3 things with you what would they be?

"The Gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again." — Achilles from TROY

I have a loving soul. Its always been in my nature to love greatly and fully. When I first heard this quote, it made me pause. To know that its not beauty on the outside that sets us into "beautiful or wonderful"… but this quote tells me, because we live life, we are precious and beautiful for that alone. Someone who can live forever and never die, doesn’t see things as beautiful… but someone whose next breath could be their last, sees beauty even in ugliness. That is someone with an understanding heart. I feel connected to that thought. I just love this quote.

If my house was burning down, here is what I would take time to save:

… wow… this is tough, because honestly the things in my house would mostly be covered by homeowners insurance. I have lots of movies, games, and such… but those are mere possessions. Pictures are my memories. If Scrapbooks are not included in that picture category, then I would say those.

1) Scrapbooks
2) My journals
3) My stuffed Ryo- Ohki (cabbit from TENCHI MUYO)
