Q is for Quotations

For the picture in the previous post I put the Oasis bookmark in the little dictionary that used to be my daughter's when she was in school. At the letter Q to be exact since I needed a word for today. I chose Quotations because it seemed like a fun thing for a book. Googled short quotations to fit on the small pages. Here are all the quotations.

What we think, we become - Buddha

Actions are prayers - me

Change the world by being yourself - Amy Poehler

All limitations are self-imposed - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Yesterday you said tomorrow. Just do it - Nike

To live will be an awfully big adventure - Peter Pan

And still I rise - Maya Angelou 

Do you have a favorite quotation? 

P is for Peace

Perhaps the rest of the alphabet will be tiny books. Today is P for Peace so I made a tiny book with a Deepak Chopra quote that I like: "In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you."
One word per page worked out perfectly but of course I'm thinking of more ways to arrange the writing in future books...because I like when things morph into other things. Yesterday's oasis necklace became a bookmark since it was too small to get over my head, lol. I think this one will become a bookmark, too.

Oh, No! It's N / O

 Yesterday, I showed my tiny book to a co-worker who suggested I could poke a hole in it and make a necklace. Aha, it was N day, so okay. It was also late work day so it didn't get done until today. Which brought me to letter O. I couldn't think of anything so I looked at 2017: O for Oasis. Bingo, I drew an oasis on the cover of the tiny book, lol. Yes, I took the easy way out of that one.

Who knows what will come up for P...

 

M is for Make Something

I like to Make things and have lots of random ideas that I mostly don't act on. I'd like to change that habit or is it lack of habit, lol. Anyway an idea I had recently was to make tiny books. Here is my first attempt. It was fun and no pressure to be perfect since it's so tiny. 

L is for Laughing out Loud

So they say Laughter is the best medicine and it does feel good to have a good Laugh out Loud. Chuckling quietly to oneself is nice but a good belly laugh is better. I don't do it enough. Anyway, a post came up in my Facebook feed for a clip from the Graham Norton Show, a British talk show. It was funny and took me to a you tube thread of funny clips from stand up comedians and sitcoms and such. Some of them had me laughing out loud. Felt good and will try to do it more often.
Go out and have a laugh today!

J is for Jogging; K is for Kicks

Back in January I started exercising everyday and have kept it up (shocking) Yes, I've skipped a few days here and there but I've been more consistent than anytime in the recent past. Mostly I walk / jog on the treadmill. Sometimes I do something else like Jumping Jacks or toe touches.

Yesterday I jogged on the treadmill and then did 100 (not high) Kicks in the kitchen. Then a little stretching.
