Later in the Day

Italian Phrase of the Day: {These come from An Italian Phrase a Day desk calendar} La mia nonna è nell’ospedale. My grandmother is in the hospital.It is raining, raining, raining, but it isn’t cold. I drove up to the drugstore without putting on a coat. I wish I could walk but there is no point in wishing because "If wishes were horse, beggars would ride." This aphorism was one of my father’s favorites and my sister and I quickly learned not to say "I wish" because that is what we would get back.
I have decided to change my quotation at the bottom a little more often than every month. I get tired of reading the same one over and over. I like the one I have now. Sometimes it is not easy for me to keep on with these Italian classes when I perceive my progress to be so slow. {I have to say that I felt much better when la prof told me my progress was not as slow as I perceived it to be. } For many years, as I have mentioned before, I only did things that I found easy and it takes a lot of effort on my part to "press on, regardless." as I am doing with the Italian. I like the idea that this attitude could be considered as courage.I am waiting for the boiled milk to cool to room temperature and then I will add the good bacteria and let it incubate. Ok, back from doing that. Don’t I live an exciting life?

QUOTATIONS: Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the
end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow".

Great quote!

Ahem

That’s a wonderful quotation, probably because it’s so true. I know what you mean about working at something when the going seems slow. That’s how I’m feeling about learning watercolors these days – frustrated. I know I only started a year ago, but I want to know it all today! Ah well, I guess I’ll just have to keep practicing.

I think that making yogurt is pretty exciting, or at the very least pretty interesting! I’ve never heard of anyone making it themselves before. Sort of like pudding; I know there has to be a way to make it from scratch, but even my grandmother’s oldest cookbook instructs you to start with a mix! If I were more ambitious, I’d look harder, but I’m not that crazy about pudding anyway. 😉

I like your quotations.

I like your new quotation too! I think it takes LOTS more courage for the quiet little voice to say “I will try again tomorrow” than for someone to always succeed on the first try. But I used to steer toward things that were easy for me too, cuz like Joe said once, I wanted to KNOW everything, but I didn’t wanna take time to LEARN it. :o) !! Here’s wishing you a good evening! hugs, Weesprite

I love that quotation. I thought it sounded like something Churchill would say but I did a Google/Yahoo search and several sources say – – Mary Anne Radmacher-Hershey Here’s a site re her: http://www.maryanneradmacher.com/

My Grandmother used to say, “If If and Ands were pots and pans there’d be no work for tinkers.” Funny how these old sayings stick with us.

Whoa! Love this quote! I’m going to use it on my quote artwork.

It is courage for you to do that! Anything that pushes us to be more than is in our comfort zone is courageous! (((Hugs)))
