Twain Tuesday

 

It's Twain Tuesday again. This weeks quote is especially meaningful for me as I have been working on allowing myself to feel more ownership and pride in my art. It is amazing to me how incredibly talented a person can be; that I can be, and yet I/we/they still find it difficult to allow ourselves to feel the actual joy our work gives us.

With some self reflection and Mark Twain on my side, I now see things very differently. This truth has made a serious dent in a lifetime needless self denial. It is my hope that by sharing Twain with you, he may shine a light in your direction. So without further delay here is your Twain Tuesday quote of the day.

"A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval."
-Mark Twain

Twain Tuesdays

Last week I happened to pick up a book I had purchased for my husband. "The Snark A Handbook" by Lawrence Dorfman. While flipping through it I was tickled by a Mark Twain Quote "Reader, suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." so Like many I added it to my Facebook post for the day. I got several chuckles and comments, and a day I felt good about my little snarky comment for the world to read. On Wednesday I flipped through the book again and just so happened to fall for a yet another Mark Twain quote. So instead of quoting him on then I have held off for today another Tuesday. I have decided that this man born Samuel Langhorne Clemens is incredibly interesting, and my Tuesday are just worthy enough in my mind to dedicate some time to him. so without further ado here is today's Twain Quote
""Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it."
— Mark Twain

Because being beautiful makes you the bad guy.
