The Challenge

On Saturday, I was challenged by MarieMathilda to take on the ‘Three Day Quote Challenge’. As this is one of those fun things that you can do all sorts of things with, I am happy and excited to accept the challenge.

The rules of this challenge are simple:

  1. Post three consecutive days.
  2. You can pick one or three quotes per day.
  3. Challenge three different bloggers per day.

Before I post my selection for quote of the day, I would love to nominate:

  1. like mercury colliding
  2. Wallpaper tadka
  3. MiddleMe

Have fun with the quote and the challenge, and thanks again to MarieMathilda for the nomination!

The Quote

“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”
― Gautama Buddha, Sayings of Buddha

Following in the theme of the Buddha, this quote is of tremendous importance, lest we forget that we may be controlled by the very thoughts that we try to control.

      Thank you! This photo was at a botanical garden pretty close to where I live. The statuary tends to be a bit of random Greek throwback that was collected by donors. I’ll have to check who this goddess/character this lady is. I’m thinking one of the maenads is a possibility.
