Hi friends and readers!! I’m ready for Friday. How about you? New readers, Fridays are dedicated to favorites here at Adulting – Second Half. Sometimes my favorites are songs or things or beauty products or food or whatever. I strongly encourage you to check out previous Friday postings for more favorites and please, please add your own favorites to the Comments section. Speaking of favorites, here’s a kindly reminder: McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes are back. They also have a Shamrock McFlurry this year. I can personally attest to the fact that both are delicious, as ever. No particular “things” are sticking out to me as favorites this week, so I’m just going to list some good words of wisdom, I pulled from my internet browsing and reading, this week:
“Difficult roads lead to beautiful places.” – f of f (Twitter)
“It’s okay if you don’t like me, cause not everyone has good taste.” – f of f (Twitter)
“You don’t have to change your life overnight, but try to add good things to each day.” – f of f (Twitter)
“Throw me to the wolves and I will return leading the pack.” – Tiffanie Seiler
“When you put someone on a pedestal, they will always look down on you.” – unknown
Effect – bring about a result. Affect – to make a difference. (good grammar tip)
“You can’t bring up my past to break me, that’s what made me.” – f of f (Twitter)
“Keep in mind that you don’t have to feel brave to do brave things. Brave is more of an action than a feeling anyway.” – Holiday Mathis
“You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.” – f of f (Twitter)
“True friends stab you in the front.” – Oscar Wilde
“Give a man a mask and he will show you his true face.” – Oscar Wilde (think internet trolls)
“I love this crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful, beautiful life.” – Darryl Worley
“Romantic love is a kind of spell. As anyone who has ever read a fairytale knows, spells have a way of being broken. That’s why it helps when you have many different kinds of love for the same person. The loyal love you feel for country and family; the compassion you feel for the young, old, or weak; the playful, competitive love that siblings and friends share_ if all these kinds of love are woven together in the same relationship, it can withstand the precarious ups and downs of romantic love and even out some of that drama.” – Holiday Mathis
