Enjoyed your quotes, especially Wright's. I'm in the process of removing much stuff that requires much dusting and storage, janitoring indeed.
I like the one about being nicer than oneself.
Kahlil really said it well. I have that book somewhere.
Thanks for stopping by and your sweet plea. Right now I am still enjoying the cut cord.
I liked some of these a lot! The Frank Lloyd Wright quote seems right on the monet, to me.
