Quotes by H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Continues! Post 4

The Complete Life's Little Instruction Book

By H. Jackson Brown, Jr. 

These are direct quotes from the book! 


Post 4 301 - 400 

#307 "Take a nap on Sunday afternoons." 
#324 "Don't delay acting on a good idea. Chances are someone else has just thought of it, too. Success comes to the one who acts first." 
#349 "Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them." 
#359 "Don't let anyone talk you out of pursuing what you know to be a great idea." 
#400 "Focus on making things better, not bigger." 

I'm so sorry for taking so long on my postponement. But I shall be posting these quotes again. I can't promise everyday because things are kind of hectic right now, but I need something like this to focus on. I hope if you are having a bad day this will help cheer you up. They are entertaining and clever. Enjoy and comment if you have any questions. Once again I apologize for taking so long to get back. Thanks for understanding.     

It's never easy - the loss of a loved one.

I thought I was having a difficult time 2-3+ weeks ago with things that seem so trivial right now. On Monday, February 18, 2013 I lost my precious cousin to a horrid car accident. She and I were never close but whenever I did see her she always made me smile and laugh like she did with everyone. She had a glow about her. I wish I had gotten to see her more often and gotten to know her better. I miss her. 
I'm sharing this because I want to remind people how fragile life is and how fast it can change. I woke up Monday morning feeling great and ready to take on the world but then everything crumbled to pieces with a single phone call. Please don't forget to tell your loved ones how much you love them. Make sure you hug them and kiss them. 
Everyone, please drive safely, especially on snowy and icy roads. Don't rush. Is your life worth risking to get to work a second sooner? Stay safe. Thank-you.

My postponement was longer than I expected.

Several days ago I posted that my favorites from The Complete Life's Little Instruction Book would be postponed for a day but that postponement exceeded one day. And it still may be a another day or two before I get back on track. Life happens and I had to deal with a few things that came around. I'm sure everyone knows what I mean. But if you were following my posts and looking forward to more I am very sorry for such a long delay. I will start posting again shortly. Thank you for your understanding.
