P is for…
Pretend
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must
be careful about what we pretend to be.”― Kurt Vonnegut
Planning
“If the world were merely seductive, that
would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I
arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to
enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.”― E.B. White

And, of course, P also stands for Punch. ;)

Hey, River...
ReplyDeleteTerrific quotes! LOVE the White quote... so true!
Hey back atcha, Michael! White's quote is a great mindset for living by - it's all positive. :)
DeleteI plan to revel in that punch. EB White was a much better person that I am. Seductive world? Yes. Yearn to improve it? Some days. Yearn to use a small nuclear device on segments of it? Yes. Oops.
ReplyDeleteWell, yes, EC. I did think he left the "wanting to deconstruct the world in some way" out of his positive quote. Some days I want to go out and destroy something. ;)
Delete"...small nuclear device"?
DeleteI love sneaky cats. I have yet, however, to try the punch. That may be for the best. :)
Of course a small nuclear device. Moderation in all things. Except Jezebel's punch - which is delicious. And addictive.
DeleteYou should try it sometime, Kevin...after you've enclosed yourself in a small, padded room, of course. ;)
DeleteImprove or enjoy? That is a tough one.
ReplyDeleteThat is one sneaky looking cat.
One of the pleasures of watching a cat, Alex. They are often sneaky... :)
DeleteP is for purple! The royalist of colors!
ReplyDeleteVery true, Michael! And one of my favorite colors too. :)
DeleteGreat quotes!
ReplyDeleteYou know, if your short on cat pictures I can send you some of my curious, cute kittens. :D
You know Chrys, since that big whoopla last year over posting photos on blogs, I've gotten all of mine from Wikimedia. For whatever reason, they have a ton of them. You should post your kitty pictures! I'd love to see them. :)
DeleteMaybe one of these days I will post all of my kitty pictures. :)
DeleteI had pounce in mind when I saw that cat. I'm with E. B. White. It's a hard choice.
ReplyDeleteI think the cat is pretending to be stalking you, Lee. Get ready for the pounce! :)
DeleteHee hee! I love that kitty image, and the quotes are epic. I agree we fake it until we make it, but some days I just want to sleep in. =)
ReplyDeleteTrue Heroes from A to Z
I'd love to sleep in, Crystal! My body will only tolerate x number of hours in a prone position any more. :/
DeleteP is also for 'peeping' kitty!
ReplyDeleteYes, JoJo! That is a peeping kitty if I ever saw one...and he thinks you can't see him either. ;)
DeleteI see no reason to Pretend or Plan. I'm heading straight to the Punch, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Ron! I think that's an excellent choice.
Delete*hands Ron a tall glass of iridescent punch*
I like to pretend to plan. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteYou get a gold star for using both words in the same sentence, Kate! :)
DeleteHi human, River,
ReplyDeleteI have a pawtend human named, Gary. I planned to make him the main character in my bark, um book.
How'd you like an nice Hawaiian Punch? Arf!

Pawsitive wishes,

Hi Penny! I prefer Underworld punch to Hawaiian. ;)
DeleteI think your pawtend human, Gary, would make an excellent character in your bark!
My brother used to mock me and my friends when we were younger, because we always wanted to play "pretend". Maybe that's why I have such an active imagination and he doesn't. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's good, Loni. He'll never see you coming that way. ;)
DeleteI really like that White quote. Talk about the difficulty of balance! Have a wonderful Easter weekend, River. :)
ReplyDeleteBut he forgot about wanting to bring destruction and mayhem into the world, Christine! ;)
DeleteYou have a great weekend too!
