The winter storm watch begins. Lots of hype going into this weekend. Forecasts are calling for 6-8 inches of snow with highs in the 30’s! That is a lot of snow for coastal North Carolina. Sounds like a weekend with movies by the fireplace…or hanging drywall. There are merits in both, I guess. Going to be some tough choices…<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Lunch Box Quotes are notes I include in the kids\u2019 lunches every day. Number 1 gets a text, but 2-4 get handwritten napkins. <\/p>\n

Quotes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. \u201cMonsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.\u201d<\/em> – Primo Levi, Auschwitz survivor.<\/p>\n

2. “One who believes in himself has no need to convince others.”<\/em> – Lao Tzu <\/p>\n

3. “Finnish everyday and be done with it…This day, for all that is good and fair. It is too dear with its hopes and invitations to waste a moment on the rotten yesterdays.”<\/em>  – Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/p>\n

4. “In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says, no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better pushing right back.”<\/em> – Albert Camus <\/p>\n
