Living Life in Quotes

I'm sure you've been either highly annoyed or part of the 'Keep Calm and ...' phase. I have to admit I'm part of the highly annoyed gang. Only because too much of a good thing becomes a boredom thing for me. However, I visited one of my favourite blogging sites recently namely, xanga.com. This site especially has amazing blog sites that features quotes and images. It made me wonder how different our lives would be if we lived our lives in quotes. Do need restraint and limits in our lives or has the boundaries we've placed upon ourselves shadowed our inner fears?

What would happen if you walked down the beach in that string bikini with a body seen less than perfect in your mind?
What if we wore that trendy skirt that might not fit your body type or skin colour or your timid personality?
What if you kept Calm and saw life as one big adventure?

I Think that perhaps it would do some of us a whole lot of good, me included. My husband always calls me a stressball. And his completely right. I've been stressing all my life thinking that it actually helps me deal with deadlines. I worry about the the littlelest things and most of all the unknown.

No, I'm not about to make some lame, untrue declaration that I will stop worrying and stressing. I am a realist after all. Nevertheless, I will try to choose the importance of what I am stressing or worrying about. Like maybe that friend wo's never present or that extra chocolate block is not a major stress factor in my life. But that job promotion, that long- life dream and the fulfillment of it, IS.

Some quotes... One for everyday of the week.
