Quote book

So you can see I've been renovating my blog quite a bit. Some of it fun, some of it painful. There are supposed to be ads on the side, but google is being vague and won't tell me why they have disappeared. 

At the core of this post is a lovely idea (non- big-cat related) I'd like to share with you. It's called a Quote Book. It's a small, insignificant-looking red book I own which I started about 9 months ago. Basically, whenever I hear or read a really good quote that rings true, or is worth remembering, I record it into my Quote Book (capital letters for my Quote Book as it seems like an exceptionally deep idea)
To date, I only have 22 quotes in there, as only the really important ones get recorded. Most of them are from a calendar, and 1 is from a can of bug spray. Wait, that sounds rather crude. It is from a can of insect repellant.

My favourite 2 quotes are on the cover page for me to always remember. It's really good to go and read through that sort of book because I believe it tells you a lot about a person (for instance, why are certain quotes important to that person? What significant meaning do they hold for someone?) but I have also found it very inspirational to read when a cloud of doom descends. They certainly don't take you out of that cloud of doom, but rather give you the tools or thoughts to bring yourself out - which is much more satisfactory in the end.

I can't take credit for the fantastic Quote Book idea. Although it makes me sound like a deep (or maybe not!) individual, I actually got the idea from a fantastic author - Karen Kingsbury. Her series "Above the Line" mentions the idea in book 1 - "Take One". As soon as I read the book I started my own.

In each post I'll put one of my quotes from my Quote Book along with my signatory big cat picture. No matter what the post is about! Let me know what you think - if you agree with the quote (why/why not), what it makes you think of, etc.

Big cat post on the cards later... keep tuning in! :)
