More of the chickies. This time strutting phrases of wisdom I have heard or overheard:
- Labor is a craft, but relaxing is an art.
- Sometimes the most important thing to hear is what isn't being said.
- We have two ears and one mouth so that we will listen more than speak.
- Instant gratification takes too long!
- Procrastinate now, don't put it off 'til later.
- Resist temptation, unless you can't.
- You can never go wrong with black, except for sometimes.
- You can't chew with someone else's teeth.
- Just because it's worth saying doesn't mean it's worth repeating.
- You can't ride two horses with one behind.
- A half-truth is a whole lie.
Thank you for visiting! If you are so moved, please leave a comment. Hearing from you means the world to me.
I love the "riding two horses with one behind"...these are great! Beautiful illustration too. Love the chicks!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, Jessica! I love how you interpreted the topic and you made a beautiful journal page out of it!
ReplyDeleteWe need to meet one of these days! Coffee in Montclair maybe? :)
That would be great! I had to interpret the prompt this way because I couldn't remember any "overheard" goodies. I'm either not listening well enough or my memory is a sieve. Probably a bit of both!
DeleteI like how you put patterns on the chicks! So cute and creative with your list in between the chicks.
