New Blogs

I should tell you all that I'm a confirmed snoop. If I happen to have added you to my blog roll, chances are I'm visiting the sites on your blog roll as well. I like to assume that if I love you, I'll adore all the other sites that you heart as well (this isn't ALWAYS the case but I won't name names *insert snicker here*). So here's a few I've found as I've been snooping on the Yvestown blog roll. Note: this is an endless game I play - I look at a site on a blog roll and then they have a post from someone fabulous so I follow that and then I look at their blog roll. . . the saga continues.

why serendipity?

ser·en·dip·i·ty/ˌsɛrənˈdɪpɪti/[ser-uhn-dip-i-tee]
–noun
an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident.

I believe that designs, like all aspects of life, have a waiting period. They aren't something that can be rushed or forced, and along the way of looking for something else you usually find the perfect thing that you didn't know you were actually in search of. At the core of this is the belief in a wonderful God above who has a miraculous plan for each and every one of us.

my philosophies

“He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.”

Nietzsche

“There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow”

Shakespeare

"Great things are not done by impulse, but a series of small things brought together."

Vincent Van Gogh

"Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."

Marcus Aurelius

"you don’t reach Serendip by plotting a course for it. You have to set out in good faith for elsewhere and lose your bearings … serendipitously."

John Barth, The Last Voyage of Somebody the Sailor

"I have to speculate that God himself did make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay"

Death Cab for Cutie: Such Great Heights

"I am still learning."

Michelangelo

"When the lesson is ready to be learned, the teacher appears"

Not sure where this came from but Momma says it

"A critic is a legless man who teaches running."

"Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you’ve found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for."

Lawrence Block

"For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

Apostle Paul speaking about Jesus in 1 Col. 1:16,17

“Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you I had no control over.”

Unknown

"Pretty is as pretty does"
