Three Beautiful Things

We know that we should do some writing every day but sometimes the words are reluctant to appear. I've just found a blog where the writer, Clare Grant, has set herself the target of writing three beautiful things every day, and a lot of other bloggers have picked up the idea - see her "Roll of Honour" (unfortunately some of the links don't seem to work).

Clare's entries are very much in the style of Sei Shonagon's lists but here are more beautiful things from an anonymous writer in New Zealand, which read like journal entries.

How about this as a way of getting those blogging fingers working?

Jerome Lawrence Quotes

A neurotic is a man who builds a castle in the air.
A psychotic is the man who lives in it.
A psychiatrist is the man who collects the rent.

Must be right - Jerome Lawrence was a playwright and author!
