Inspirational Quote
I love inspirational quotes and use them whenever I can.  My newest favorite is from Theodore Roosevelt.  (abbreviated here)  "It's not the critic who counts... The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena...who spends himself for a worthy cause;  who at best knows in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly."
If you could be a character in a children's book, who would you choose?
Pippi Longstocking --  though I haven't read her books since I was a child, I remember how much fun she always had!
