My Newest Most Favorite Quote Ever (at least for now)

I love quotes.

I ran across this one at Facebook yesterday.  J.D. Rhoades had posted it, and I promptly "borrowed" it and posted it on my Facebook page.

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself." - - - Neil Gaiman

It touched my soul.

I've heard of Neil Gaiman, but I've never read any of his work.  That, I do believe, is going to change.  I believe Mr. Gaiman's work is referred to as "Urban Fantasy."  This doesn't sound like the type of writing that might appeal to me - but, as you know, I've been wrong before.  I'm going to give it a try - any of you have a suggestion as to which of his books I should start with?

And while we're talking about quotes, I'm thinking this would make a fun blog.   Do you have some favorites you'd care to share?

And finally - some of you have gently reminded me that I forgot to post Christmas pictures of Harley!  WHAT was I thinking?!  Here's a couple.  Enjoy!
