Joy
Joy does not come from what you do; if flows into what you do and thus into this world from deep within you. Eckhart Tolle
We create the future
The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and their destination. John Schaer (quoted in Flylady at some point)
Daily life
… the true secret of happiness lies in the taking a genuine interest in all the details of daily life. William Morris, quoted on The Happiness Project blog
Walking meditation
Change your To Do list from a stew of chores into a daily walking meditation on the value of life. Quote from an emailed testimonial to Flylady
What you do
The difference in who you are and who you want to be is what you do. Flylady
Order is the greatest grace
Set all things in their own particular place, and know that order is the greatest grace. John Dryden
Editors make mistakes, too
I mis-spelt a word on Twitter today – conumdrum, instead of conundrum. Not the end of the world, and in the Twitter flow no one but me noticed (I hope). But it makes me unhappy when I get things wrong (especially when I do know the right spelling). And that is one of the foundations of editing, I guess: the striving to make things right.
