I have been nominated by the lovely Funsie from Simply Me to take part in one of my favourite challenges. Why not pop on over to her blog and say hello. She has lots to keep you entertained on her blog whilst you visit.
The rules for this challenge are as follows:
1 – Thank the blogger that nominated you.
2 – Share one new quote on three consecutive days on your blog. They can be from anywhere, anyone, or anything.
3 – On each of the three days, nominate three more bloggers to carry on with the fun! No pressure; nominees are free to decline.
I have decided that I will be using quotes from the wonderful Maya Angelou. A lady of immense courage, wisdom and fortitude that battled many challenges in her life, yet rose above them all. I’ll kick off with this one:
The best part of life is not just surviving, but thriving with passion and compassion and humor and style and generosity and kindness.
- Maya Angelou
My nominees, should they want to participate, are:
Tonya from Fourth Generation Farm Girl
Rosema from A Reading Writer
Daffy from Wild Daffodil
Maya Angelou is a fantastic choice, Sis! This quote is just wonderful. It is not that we simply make it through life, but that we enjoy the ride which actually only is a life.

When I changed my name, I thought of Angelou as a surname as I wanted to be her adopted daughter. x

Yes, it is. I read it some time ago and had to go out and get the rest of them. What a life she had. Much of it was so shocking.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
