Part 2 - Inspiring Quotes That Speak to Me

Have you ever read a quote and realized it’s talking to you?
​It makes you feel better on a bad day and encourages you to keep trying. ​

I get emails from a website called Inspiring Quotes each day. Some speak to me; some don’t. I delete the ones that don’t and save the ones that do. Sometimes I share them with you. Would you believe my file of quotes is 141 pages long?

I haven’t shared any for a while, so I decided to pick four and write about them. I hope they’ll speak to you too. If you click on any of the source links, you can get emails from Inspiring Quotes too.

#2. Almost everything will work again,
if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.

When I struggle with my computer, I click restart. That usually works! If it doesn’t, I call in my husband/tech support, and I still get a break.

When words are my problem, I take a break! Sometimes I only need a few minutes. Sometimes I switch to another writing project. But if I’m still stuck, I take the night off. And in the morning, somehow, the words come. Thank goodness!

​So who said it? Anne Lamott
​
Anne’s writing is known for its self-deprecating humor, and it’s on display in this quote. Everything needs a break if it’s going to keep running. Any machine that’s used constantly will wear out sooner, and so will we.
