The building that our friends' wedding reception was held in was decorated on the outside with quotes. When I was growing up, I decorated with quotes. I had a quote calendar and each day I had a new quote waiting. If it spoke to me, I saved it and I would trim it down from it's desktop-calendar-size and paste it on a paper that hung on my wall. I still have that quote paper in my "box of memories," as I call it. I also kept quotes that I heard from teachers, from television shows, in books, from friends and I would write them on my dividers that I had in my three ring binder. There is one divider in particular that I would decorate with illustrations and doodles about these quotes - I have that divider tucked away in that same box.
So needless to say, I quite enjoyed the reception venue and if I had more time at the end of the evening, I probably would have gone around and taken pictures of all the quotes that stood out. But this is the one that was near the door and the one that resonated with me when I first saw it. 2010 has been a trying year for many people I know, myself included. There have been health issues, we have lost loved ones, careers haven't gone the way we thought they would and there have been more hiccups than smooth sailings (to mix metaphors). But life marches on. And so do we. And so it goes. And we are stronger and braver for it.
