Quote of the Day – “A year from now you will wish you had started today.”
Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
How late did you stay up last night? I think I made it to 9:15. We made a few updates to the blog last night and are still working out the kinks this morning so if something is a little off to you, please let me know and I’ll look into it. The first thing on the list is to change the text color from grey to black. 😉
As you may have noticed there is no new “word of the day” today. This year I’ll be sharing some of my favorite quotes instead. If you have an all time favorite quote let me know and I’ll try and get it posted.
Happy New Year!!!
♥ Mavis & Lucy the best beggar on the planet.

Happy New Year!
Mavis Butterfield says
I LOVE that one!!
Rochelle says
Love the quote of the day idea!!!
My daughter started collecting quotes when she was about 15. They are from TV shows, movies, books, people famous or not. She’s 21 now and still collects them. It is an eclectic collection that reflects her, her ambition, and warped sense of humor.
I’m looking forward to sharing some of yours with her!

I am starting to set up for starting my own seedlings this year. Tired of buying transplants for my garden, and it’s time to bite the bullet and do it. 🙂 Light Gray.
Veronica Vatter says
Mavis honey? Some people have to work in an office all day? Im an accountant and would love this for tax time. A lot of offices are putting in standing desks. A bicycle desk is a great idea.
Love the blog, Happy new year!
Sandra says
Agreed. My husband is a CPA. I would be happy if he could get a little bit of exercise during his long workdays. Because he does a lot of estate and trust work, his “tax season” doesn’t end on April 15 (or April 18 this year), so this bike would perhaps get used year-round. The only thing is this bike would need to accommodate dual wide-screen monitors!
Deborah from FL says
Happy New Year Mavis!
I enjoyed your vocab words, but I love quotes.
And I have already learned something new this year: Soil blocks. Brilliant!
Regarding the new site appearance, I immediately noticed a crisper appearance. Guess that was the font color change? The biggest shocker to me was in not seeing your pic there, being all Mavisy. I hope you plan to incorporate that back in. 😉
Laura Z says
I am all for time outdoors, but having a laptop bike would make me more inclined to exercise while I’m watching a program — I pretty much too all television watching on my laptop these days.
“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”
― Roald Dahl, The Twits

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”
Mother Teresa
Emma Foster says
I am a writer, and know lots of writer friends who are looking into and/or have bought laptop bikes or laptop stands that attach to treadmills. You can’t move very fast on the laptop bikes or treadmills while you are working your laptop. You are not going to break a sweat, so it doesn’t replace exercise at all. It is in no way meant to replace regular exercise or outdoor time. But it is a great way to add some more movement for those of us who have jobs where we are sedentary most of the day. Studies are increasingly showing that time on our butts is horrible for our health.
Deborah from FL says
If lyrics count, I submit the following quote from The Eagles:
“So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key.”
Renee says
Here’s one of my favorite quotes:
“Start by doing what’s necessary, then do what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
St. Francis
Rochelle says
Oooooo! That’s a keeper!
