Why I do use quotes: A disclaimor

Some people who visit my blog have had concerns about the recent use of quotes. No worries.

There are a couple words of explanation for this.

First, from the beginning I have used quotes to fill in dry times in writing on my blog. I know some of you can write several entrances in one day. I cannot.

Second, I have been on study leave and vacation the last few weeks. Part of that process for me is collecting quotes. And, I like to drag my study time over vacation when I have it like this....

So...at the risk of exposing myself to much, I have been sitting around in my underwear reading books and organizing stuff in storage, and doing stuff at work on my vacation that I cannot let go. I have not been doing a lot of LIFE stuff, more REST stuff, which means that a lot of quotes have been interspersed with reflections--which has taken some careful attention to get to.

Finally, I have all these loose sheets of paper haning around with quotes on them that I need to catalogue. I catologue quotes in two places. One is on my blog, and the other is in a cheap black journal that I bought at Barnes and Noble. Being as I tend to lose these journals either on a WP (computer breaks down with no backup)or in a notebook (lose notebook) I have been trying adding them to my blog...hoping that GOOGLE is less absent minded than I am.

So, I will try and space out the quotes stuff a little more, alternating it with quizzes and pics (I cant stand just looking at script...and believe a blog is an artistic expression of sorts) and entries about my thoughts and experiences and all that.

Thanks for your patience with a more fallow period of productivity in my life.
