A Commonplace Book. “Commonplace”, from the Latin 'locus communis', meaning “a theme or argument of general application.” For me, it is a collection of thoughts, ideas, anecdotes, poems, observations, and quotes that stood out and caught my attention, some with comment, some without. Essentially a scrapbook, a repository of thoughts too good to just pass over and let go.
"We should be living by covenant, not by convenience."
(Elder Robert C. Gay, of the Presidency of the Seventy, Worldwide Devotional for Youth, 3 May 2020)
"When an angel misses you, they toss a penny down … sometimes to cheer you up, to make a smile out of your frown. So, don’t pass by that penny when you’re feeling blue; it may be a penny from Heaven that an angel tossed to you."
(Anonymous)
"The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him."
(Lamentations 3:28)
"We always think of failure as the antithesis of success, but it isn’t. Success often lies just the other side of failure."
(Leo F. Buscaglia, Born for Love: Reflections on Loving, 7)
