My mind is running at a million miles an hour at the moment and I’m lacking inspiration for my blog today. All I have seen and heard for the last 24 hours it seems is Osama….here, there and everywhere. Even though he is no longer here. Which I have heard the rumors and conspiracy that he isn’t actually dead. I’m just honestly tired of hearing them at the moment so please spare me your conspiracy theories or political speeches for now. I just would rather not talk about him anymore at the moment….

I’ve decided instead to make a post of quotes. Quotes that I love, some new to me and some old ones that I have just always loved. This will not have ALL the quotes I love in it because that would take up a book possibly, BUT I will share some with you. And if you like, feel free to share your favorite quotes with me! I would love to hear them!

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.

My arm! My arm!”  ~Lemony Snicket
