I admire (and miss) Ms. Erma! She was so wise and shared so much but with a lovely and unique sense of humor!
One of my favorites is this one:
"When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say 'I used everything you gave me'!"
Here are a few more of her precious gems:
“When your mother asks, "Do you want a piece of advice?" it is a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway.”
“It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.”
“I haven't trusted polls since I read that 62% of women had affairs during their lunch hour. I've never met a woman in my life who would give up lunch for sex.”
“In two decades I've lost a total of 789 pounds. I should be hanging from a charm bracelet.”
“Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth.”
Oh my, there are so many! You can see for yourself here!Thank you Erma.....

You have such a lovely style. I particularly love the one with the book papers as the base. Love the texture it reveals. Best wishes! J
