I have nothing other than the writing of others today. Just a couple of shopping days until Christmas, and my chickens aren’t laying eggs. However, I am still rather optimistic about the season, and honestly, in a good mood this morning. I like all the quotes below, but for myself and today, I choose Number 3. But, if you can, click on the Jack Carr quote and read about Jim Harrison. I have not read any of his work, but I probably should.<\/p>\n

Typically, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids\u2019 lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get a handwritten napkin. But this week, with finals for the High School, everything is wonky. Some days they are in school, some days they get out early. Every day is different. <\/p>\n

3. \u201cIn a life properly lived, you\u2019re a river. You touch things lightly or deeply; you move along because life herself moves, and you can\u2019t stop it; you can\u2019t figure out a banal game plan applicable to all situations; you just have to go with the \u2018beingness\u2019 of life.\u201d<\/em> – Jim Harrison<\/span><\/p>\n

4. \u201cA large part of writing is a recognition factor, to have read enough to know what good writing is.\u201d<\/em> – Jim Harrison<\/span><\/p>\n

Bonus Quote: \u201cWhen men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.\u201d<\/em> – G. K. Chesterton<\/p>\n
