My mother passed away recently. I have been doing all the things that come with that. My journal has been a saving grace. Here are some thoughts from the pages:
Life
Have you ever considered answering the question,
“Life is __________?”
Life is short. Life is a wonderful journey. Life is a game. Life is a day at the beach (for me, that’s true, as I have a new place ON THE BEACH!) Here are some quotes for you to consider. I hope you like them.
“Life is a near death experience.”
George Carlin
“Life is what happens when you’re not watching television.”
Jason Love
“Life is not having been told the man has just waxed the floor.”
Ogden Nash
“Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.”
Truman Capote
“The world is a grindstone and life is your nose.”
Fred Allen
“Life consists in what man is thinking all day long.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Life isn’t fair. It’s just fairer than death, that’s all.”
William Goldman
“Life is something to do when you can’t go to sleep.”
Fran Liebowitz
“People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.”
Logan Pearsall Smith
“Life is nothing but a competition to be the criminal rather than the victim.”
Bertrand Russell
“Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the poor.”
Sholem Aleichem
“You live and learn. At any rate, you live.”
Douglas Adams
“Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.”
Brendan Gill
“The meaning of life is that it stops.”
Franz Kafka
Now it’s your turn. You answer the question:
“Life is _______________?” I would love to hear your response!
Thanks for reading.
