I’ve been nominated by Mia Grizzle who blogs at The Grizzle Grist Mill for the 3 Quotes, 3 Days Challenge. Thank you very much Mia. I enjoy Mia’s writing and her variety of posts. Stop by and check out her site. The Challenge sounds like fun, and a great way to contribute to the WordPress Community. The Challenge: Post three quotes and nominate three people a day to the challenge, for three days.
Since my high school days in the Rebellious 60s, I’ve enjoyed the works of Henry David Thoreau. I can’t say I’ve ever lived as simply as he did at Walden’s Pond, nevertheless, his works left their indelible mark.
Here’s three of many things he said/wrote that I love:

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
And the nominees for Day One are:
Like Mia at The Grizzle Grist Mill, hese writers/bloggers write from their hearts, sharing with us there lives and how they see the world. I hope you’ll find their work a joy to read.
