If You Obey All The Rules You Miss All The Fun

"If you obey all of the rules you miss all of the fun"

This wonderful quote from Kathrine Hepburn is on my mood board. It is one of these "typical" things I need to be reminded of especially on a day like today when I am trying to beat myself up (again), telling myself that I am not working hard enough...Whose rules? Aren't those rules MY rules? So I have taken a break to blog and I feel much better now. To conclude with another KH quote:

"If you always do what interests you at least one person is pleased."

Mae West

Walking in the French Quarter in New Orleans this Summer I found a great little store named after its owner Nadine Blake. One of the things I picked up was a series of cards with quotes of Mae West, hand printed by Nadine's husband. "I used to be Snow White but I drifted" was one of them. I love quotes, especially when I can relate to them.
