QotD 8/21- Keep Pressing On (Culture is important!)

By -
Life pushes at us hard. I get it. Kids, work, school, bills, and taking care of everyone's needs leave us with little time for anything else.

For today's quick quote, here is JFK on why that is so important.

Cut the end of the streamers so they all dangle instead of loop. They are fun, summery replacements for your typical streamers.

Quote of the Day- Why Does This Always Happen to Me??!!

At some point, we all question what the great cosmic scheme is. Personally, I do every time something new on my car breaks, guzzling up the money I set aside for something else. For today's quote, let's look to the iconic Woody Allen for some perspective. "I'm astounded by people who want to 'know' the universe when it's hard enough to find your way around Chinatown."
