QUOTES BY SANDRA GOLDEN

On this Page I will place quotes that I have used in my work, and in my life. Think of them as sound bites for life. Most of them came to me as I wrote, or as I observed the world around me. Please use them, and think of the meaning behind each one, and if you think of it give me the credit for coming up with them.

1.  Always be the manipulator who manipulates the manipulators.

I went on a road trip to Nashville Tennessee this past weekend to visit friends. On my home I got stuck in several construction zone on I 40 I had time to think about this weeks blog. So today's quotes, or my thoughts are about my experiences I had this weekend.

“Life is like a road trip. You are either in the driving seat and in control, or you are stuck in the passenger seat just watching the world go by.” I prefer to be in the driving seat.

“It takes twice as long to recover from a night out on the town when you are middle age. And a year and a half before you want to even attempt it again.”

“I enjoy pretending to be young for the night, but I much prefer to be the age I am the rest of the time.”

“It is much less complicated to be middle class then it is to be rich.”

“Money IS complicated.”

Blog post: I was listening to the radio siting in a long line of traffic trying to get past a construction zone when I heard the radio personality talk about a reward show, and the rewards that people on all the reality shows must receive. She was jealous about how much money and fame they received as part of these awards. This made me think about the rewards that I have gotten. Rewards from my growing up years, rewards I have gotten for my needle work at the fair, rewards I hope to get for my writing one day. Even though it is nice to be recognized for your work it is the hidden rewards that mean the most to me. The memory of my handsome sons smile when he enjoyed my homemade salsa, the memory of the sound of his laughter, a hug for a gift, a memory that brings back a smile, a picture of a lost love one, a shoulder to cry on from a friend, a hug, a kiss, a furry friends devotion, a simple note, a scrap book full of memories, these are all the rewards that I cherish the most. And even though I only had my son for 18 years and his loss is felt every day I still see him as my biggest reward that life has given me.

I was fixing myself a cup of tea and was thinking to myself what makes a piece a fiction great? And the answer popped into my head and thought it would make a great quote.

"You know a work of fiction is great when generations believe it to be the truth."
