Marsha is asking us to write about activities that inspire us for this week’s #WDQ post!

https://alwayswrite.blog/2024/06/26/wq-175-june-26-all-activities-that-inspire-arent-fun/

First, my favorite of all, reading!

Here are a few quotes that I love about my favorite pastime of reading!

😃

"When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as I did when I was young." – Maya Angelou

😃

"Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift." – Kate DiCamillo

"It wasn’t until I started reading and found books they wouldn’t let us read in school that I discovered you could be insane and happy and have a good life without being like everybody else." – John Waters

😊

On to my second love, music! Here are a few of my favourites regarding music!

Where words fail, music speaks!

Hans Christian Andersen

Without music, Life would be a mistake.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.

Berthold Auerbach

😊

Whatever activities inspire you, have fun, enjoy them to the full!

    Reading, singing, walking, and laughing are four that inspire me.
