Vernon Saunders Law Quote

Quote Of The Day

Vernon Saunders Law Quote:

Vernon Saunders Law Quote

What’s Up With Pooj?

I’m in a bit of a funk. Writers block is at my throat, fighting the words once more. I wonder when things got so complicated in life. I remember the days when it was simple. The good old days when times were bad.

It’s not that I’m sad, I’m not sad. It’s more like an indifference to it all. I’m tired. Or maybe I just need to take my B12 supplement which I keep forgetting to do lol.

In less melancholic news, we went to the Karen Blixen museum this weekend and it was my first time there in a long time. It was interesting to go back as an adult because her life seemed so much more sad and lonely now when I think about it. A bit of a tragedy despite all she achieved and fought for. But in another way, she’s also inspiring because despite all she went through she continued to pursue what she loved and helped many people along the way. She didn’t let life get to her or stop her from achieving all she did.

What I’m Listening To This Week:

I thought this was a really cool listen, created from poetry by Amy Jones.

    I heard the quote before.
    But I didn’t know who originally said it.
    Now I’ll have to Google Vernon Saunders Law to find out who he is.

        Yes, I googled him.
        He apparently won the Cy Young Award for Best Pitcher in Major League Baseball back in 1960 and won the World Series with the Pittsburg Pirates that same year.

    Thank you for sharing something so honest. We all go through seasons where the words don’t come easily, but those quiet moments often lead to our deepest reflections. I love your perspective on Karen Blixen her resilience and determination despite life’s hardships is truly inspiring. Wishing you renewed energy, fresh inspiration, and yes… maybe that B12 helps too! 😊

    I saw the movie based on Babette’s feast (with the same name). That was an amazing movie with Danish and Swedish actors. Sounds like an interesting museum. About the quote, I like it. It is best to learn from others but sometimes you have to make the mistakes yourself, and that is harder. Experience is indeed a hard teachers.

      She was a great writer too and artist. Out of Africa is another movie adapted from her book based on her own experiences in Kenya.
      That’s true, I think the lessons we learn ourselves are harder but at the same time teach us lessons that remain with us.

    It seems natural that you need some inhale time, after having a big exhale this year! Taking your vitamins does seem a good idea though, D too, if you need it, and HYDRATE! I hadn’t been familiar with Karen Blixen by name, so thanks for that, and the quote is so good!

      True, this year has been a lot but in a good way too! I took my vitamin D for the month but I kept forgetting my B12 which I’ve taken today and already feeling a bit better. Check out Karen Blixen’s history/life- it’s quite interesting.

    Hi Pooja, I love the quote. Ironically I have been this teacher, kids tried to get me in trouble for giving them the test lol needless to say, they failed miserably
    Anyhow, sorry to hear you are feeling down, what helps me is hanging out with folks that help me process and move on. Coincidentally, all of them are my old friends from 30 years ago, I’m so lucky to still be in touch. I feel like they are the only people who really know me. Anyways, if you have those old friends reach out to chat or write them a letter. I’m writing letters to feel better or reach out : hello, this is me! How are you doing?

    I have been taking advantage of some better weather to get things done outside. We lost power for a day last week after a funnel cloud passed through. (there was a tornado warning, but it did not touch down, but wind knocked down a lot of trees and power lines) Have a wonderful week.

    I’m listening to Enya’s “And Winter Came” cd this week. I know it is the height of summer, but it’s just been calling me 😀

    On the words front, I haven’t written a post in almost 2 weeks. Thankfully my schedule was buffered for almost a month, so I’m not in any danger of running out of posts, but man, I’ve just been totally indifferent to blogging. For me, I think it is work. Just too much of it.

    I’m sorry you’re in a funk. That’s an unfun feeling and attitude. I imagine it will pass, since you have so many interests and, of course, will keep writing. The quotation, I think, is painfully true. We fail by not knowing what’s going on; then we learn. Sigh. Regarding music, when I drive I listen to a station out of Philadelphia that plays Classical music during the day and jazz at night. I don’t know much about either genre, but it’s a pleasant experience to have while on the road.

    I’ve recently discovered that when I’m feeling less like writing I have to clear my head. In my case I lose myself in a really easy book to read that takes little or no concentration or binge watch a Netflix series.

    When I’m outside trying to stay on top of the gardening I listen to music. With the continuous heatwaves we’ve been having I’ve returned to reggae music, it seems just right!

    A great quote and something to remember when life is tough. It’s remembering to learn the lesson that so many of us humans often forget, only to repeat the lesson more than one!

      That’s true for a lot of us I think, writers block hits me most when I’m overwhelmed or tired. I’ve been reading more which helps, I’m not finding anything good to watch unfortunately.

      Reggae is so fun, I don’t listen to it much but when I do I always enjoy it!

      True, remembering the lessons is the hardest part.
