Writing 101, Day Five: Hook ’em with a quote

A blank page can be intimidating. Sometimes it’s helpful to use someone else’s words to give you a boost. Today, use a quote or passage from something you’ve read to introduce your post.
The type of quote you choose is up to you. Maybe the passage is something you’d like to comment on, or is one of your favorite quotes. Or maybe you read a great essay the other day, and one of its lines made you think.

1968

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken” Oscar Wilde

I am who I am

I am
What I am
Simply
Just
Because
I want to be

I am a closet writer
I am also intensely hyper
I am some kind of photographer
I am also a videographer
I am fifty year old lady with an attitude
But not without much gratitude

So what if I wear my hair short
So what if I sometimes snort
So what if I wear pink at my age
So what if I feel comfortable on a stage
So what if I wear a shorter than short skirt
So what if I’m a bit of a flirt

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony” Mahatma Gandhi

Happy Place, At Sea (Part Three)

Step into the vessel
Forget the pressure
When setting sail
And hitting that trail

Hoping for
The gail to stay away
For a smooth journey
With a gentle sway
On the ocean’s gurney

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking” Marcus Aurelius

Happy Place, Seashore (Part Two)

Happiness
Is a little stretch of emptiness
Of seashore that is

Sitting on the rocks
Watching the waves
Feeling the misbehave
Tossing shoes and socks
Walking to the waterline
Reminders of cloud nine
Sand between the toes
Silently uttered woes
Of never leaving…
…Paradise

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters” Audrey Hepburn

Happy Place, Poolside (Part One)

Don’t worry, be happy
And yes, do make it snappy
I know you’re not in a hurry
And you needn’t worry
The happy place
You were looking for
Never really stays
In one place for too long
Don’t try to act like a nut
But get off your butt
Hit that road
Follow the toad

Oh, but wait!
Happiness starts at home
So, don’t hesitate
Get into the zone
Forget for a while the rules
And just dive into the pool
