Friday Fill-In # 124

For this Friday Fill-In, Janet chose quotes having to do with spring. Since I know none of them, I just answered in my own way.

1. If we had no winter, we'd miss the first lesson in longing.

2. Creativity is a perpetual astonishment. Where there was nothing before, something appears.

3. If I had my life to live over I'd go to grad school or professional school a lot younger. When I graduated from college most of us didn't look beyond that. I'm sure I appreciated it more when I was older, though.

4. Your whole life can change inside of four and twenty hours. I'll bet it happens to most of us.

5. If you'd never been thrilled, come to Kings Island and ride the coasters. Come to think of it, it's been years since I've been there.

6. To be interested in the changing seasons is to have a glimpse of the spiritual side of yourself.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to coming home and reading (Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry - a great read,) tomorrow my plans include getting off work at 5, and Sunday I want to go out to lunch with my church friends. In other words, no real weekend plans yet, but I know I'll think of something.

Happy Friday, everyone.
