Quotes & Riddles

  

Hokay.  I've had this blog post up and waiting for about an hour now.  But I got lost on StumbleUpon.  I LOVE that site...or is it an app?  Either way.  I love it.  I know most people are going crazy about Pintrest these days, but I'm staying loyal to SU.  I like it for its randomness, and best for its quotes.


I have many, many, many favorite quotes, but I just wanted to share a few of them this evening, as they have recently come across my StumbleUpon account.

Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused. -alan cohen

Awesome quote and thought that I had actually never come across.  Rarely is a quote completely new to me, as I've searched out so many in my day.


In emailing with a friend tonight, I thought of this quote, and it is one that definitely rings true to the chapter I'm at in my life:

"Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." —Antoine de Saint-Exupery

For Christmas my Personal Trainer, and one of my dearest friends, gave me an awesome canvas with an even awesome-er, yes...awesome'er quote:

For Valentines Day, I got Peter a Surprise (I'll blog about the details later), but I decided to play the Treasure Hunt Riddle game to present him with the gift.  Yes, I know Valentines isn't until Tuesday, but this gift is time sensitive and needed to be delivered early.  Since composing all the riddles, I've had the urge to speak in rhymes all day.  If you aren't familiar with the Treasure Hunt Riddle Game.  It goes as follows, or so it went for us this evening.  

I gave Peter a little card, and inside it said: 

"I made up a game, I hope you'll play, clue #1 is by the door of a gay".  

(Pete's Cousin/Sister or Custer as we call her, is a fabulous young woman, about to graduate from the UofM might I add in Food and Nutrition Science, and she is quite openly homosexual.  So this clue isn't inappropriate, it was just clever. (; )  So I hid the next clue near Kate's bedroom door. 

This clue read: "A special treat awaits for my boo, Where you put your plate when dinner is through".  (Next Clue in the Dishwasher)

"Find this spot, and a surprise you will get, clothes go here...when they are wet." (Clue in dryer)

"Here's another Riddle, just for fun, This has four legs...but doesn't Run." (Next Clue near dinner table) 

And the last clue riddled like this: 

"The REAL treat is yours...I swear.  Just look where you keep your underwear.  

In his underwear drawer was where I put a riddle/poem, this one explaining his gift.  But I'll save those details for my later blog.  I don't want to ruin the surprise for you guys.  You'll just have to stay posted.  I think I had more fun than he did, making up the riddles, watching him go from clue to clue.

So here is to riddles and quotes galore, that is all my friends, for I have no more.  Buenos Nachos.
