  • can’t decide

    • i’ve got a little project going on.  i decided to paint words on my stair risers.  but now i can’t decide which words.  sorry this is such a mess, i copied from elsewhere and i’m too lazy to figure out to make it look better. green are the ones i kinda dig.  but if i was sure what i wanted to do, i wouldn’t be asking you.  :)   other suggestions welcome, because i love having more choices.  thanks!

  • “to the stars through difficulties” is the KS state motto
    I think you’re just going to have to make your own decision on this one.  I mean, you guys are going to be the ones looking at it all the time.

  • lol i feel like the last one should be your motto. ;)

    I like

    “the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach” but maybe only because now the tune is in my head.

    and I feel like
    “So come on up and bring your jukebox money.”
    works for stairs quite well because of the “up”. and is more humorous.

    If you want inspiration and not humor then I like
    “To be a star, you must
    shine your own light, follow your own path, and don’t worry about the
    darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest” Unknown

    there’s probably an awesome quote about stairs in my head somewhere that I’m too tired to find. no dewey decimal system in my brain. :P

  • @lanney - that is an awesome motto. I have new respect for that state. i don’t know my state motto.

  • @leaflesstree - what’s a motto you? those are my favorites.  obviously, i guess.  i agree about my personal motto.  :)
    @lanney - you’re kinda a pain in the tush sometimes.  :P
    @HappierHeathen - i like that. a lot.  :)

  • @promisesunshine - this is true

  • @lanney - but only sometimes.  

  • I like these the most: “To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don’t worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest” Unknown” 

    and
    Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
    - Henry David Thoreau

  • @xdeelynnx - yes.  i probably agree with you.  serious.  is probably what i want and those are good and serious.  (not to be wishy washy or anything)

  • Uh…I don’t know.

    ^perfect, no?

  • @distractedbyzombies - yes, it is.  

  • Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
    I’m glad I did it, partly because it was worth it, but mostly because I shall never have to do it again.
    If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you’ve made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - a little twain.  i do like those.  thank you.

  • or.. you could do some very abstract art on them. it’s a thought. splash around with the paints and have some fun. but you know how fond of words and sayings i am too. as if i’m going to be going up and down your stairs : )

    you should have been given TRUE status months ago. says i.

  • @be_the_rain - i will end up going with the whim of the moment, like i always do.  yes, i do deserve true.  i’ve worked hard for it.  darn it.

  • “don’t mess with texas” :::???:::

    i do so like ad astra per aspera. it’s a kansas thing too? who knew. seneca the elder would be right at home in kansas.

  • You took a line from “Seasons in the Sun” ???? A Canadian embarassment.

  • @Bricker59 - there’s a point in favor of using that one.  :)
