My new Painted Bear Calendar is up in the kitchen [thanks again, Chris]. Here is the January page.
And this also means I must go at the pace which is right for me, and not rush to keep up with the pace of others.

I like that saying on the calendar. :)

DeleteAs Shakespeare wrote "comparisons are odious". I agree. Our own pace and our own choices, even our own values equals a happier life.
ReplyDeleteI had to look this up - and was surprised to discover the bard was quoting a phrase already in common use by 1599 when he wrote Much Ado About Nothing. First recorded in 1440 in a book by John Lydgate, it also crops up in the works of Christopher Marlowe, John Donne and Cervantes. But the truth behind the statement holds, whoever said it!! "To thine own self be true" is a good maxim [that one's from Hamlet]
DeleteTrue!

DeleteSuch a lovely calendar, and such a true saying. I just read some at Instagram about the same. To focus on all the good things we are, and not the things we don't like with ourself. I think that means it must be a message to me!
ReplyDeleteMarit, those of us who read your blog recognise you as a generous and gifted lady - so please don't focus on negatives!! 😊❤️👍
DeleteThank you :)
DeleteWhat a healthy and affirming quotation. It is just right to read over and over again.
ReplyDeleteHugs!

DeleteIt took me years to stop trying to be like o5her people and start trying to be 'me'.
ReplyDelete❤️👍
DeleteWhat a lovely drawing to start the year. I’m trying to give away/donate as many things as I can in January to try and clear my home and my head of too much stuff! Catriona
ReplyDeleteI keep a bag in the corner of the bedroom and aim to fill it for the charity shop each month (that depletes my bag collection too!)
DeleteWhat a lovely positive thought to start the year with! I thought of you this morning when we sang the second verse of "As with Gladness Men of Old" and the last two lines were:
ReplyDelete"So may we with hurried pace
Ever seek your throne of grace."
I love that hymn, sung to the tube Princethorpe, and I like your updated lines for the 2nd verse
