Rejuvenating

Posted on September 22, 2015September 13, 2015 by aaforringer

Shutting off the thought process is not rejuvenating; the mind is like a car battery – it recharges by running. Bill Watterson

William Boyd “Bill” Watterson II (born July 5, 1958) is an American cartoonist and the author of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, which was syndicated from 1985 to 1995. Watterson stopped drawing Calvin and Hobbes at the end of 1995 with a short statement to newspaper editors and his readers that he felt he had achieved all he could in the medium. Watterson is known for his negative views on licensing and comic syndication and his move back into private life after he was done drawing Calvin and Hobbes. Watterson was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, whose suburban Midwestern United Statessetting was part of the inspiration for Calvin and Hobbes.

You have to dream, you have to have a vision, and you have to set a goal for yourself that might even scare you a little because sometimes that seems far beyond your reach. Then I think you have to develop a kind of resistance to rejection, and to the disappointments that are sure to come your way. Gregory Peck

Quotes

Living

Posted on September 15, 2015September 13, 2015 by aaforringer

Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering – because you can’t take it in all at once. Audrey Hepburn

She was ranked by the American Film Institute as the third greatest female screen legend in the history of American cinema and was inducted in to the International Best Dressed List Hall of Fame.

I can really appreciate this, I have been so many places, seen so many amazing things it has not been until recently that I really am amazed at my life, at the time is was just do, do, and do some more. Maybe that is the true wisdom of age.
