marcoujor: Thoughtful Wisdom

In Wednesday’s desk post, You Never Know, I wrote the following introduction:

I've decided to resurrect some 'oldies but goodies' as I re-publish some favorite posts from up to four years ago for the next forSEEable future...

Contemplating my life balance over the next couple months, I remind myself that a repeat / rerun does not have to be a bad thing. In fact, I am usually able to gain new insights from reading something a second time.

​I also appreciate how my reading audience has grown. As such, this timeless post may be brand new to you.

​Thanks for reading, sharing and understanding if my replies to your wonderful comments are delayed a bit and on the brief side.

---

My loyal readers, aka YOU, are most generous in your comments and emails - adding lots of depth to my work with your perspectives and life experience.

Along those lines, this month I will share a dozen quotes that resonate with me. I’ll provide a variety of subjects in the hopes that one of the quotes will spark a wave of inspiration in you.

And ….. If you are so inclined, please send me an email with your thoughts on any of these quotes (perhaps a different one that is your ‘go to’ inspiration), which I’d be able to share with everyone in the form of a future desk post.

EYE (oops … I) would be thrilled to make you my future guest on upcoming Inspiration Station posts. Check these out ...
