60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: A Grab Bag of Inspiration

<p>Hello to listening in <a href="https://www.visitsouthbend.com/" target="_blank">South Bend, Indiana</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is 60 Seconds (and a bit more) for Thoughts on Thursday with your host, Diane Wyzga.  </p><p>Remember the grab bag game? Maybe you played it in school or at parties. Everyone brought a small wrapped gift, all the gifts went into a bag. One by one each child would reach in to the bag and pull out a gift. Maybe you liked what you got. Maybe you exchanged your gift with someone else. At the end of the day everybody came away with something.</p><p>The following is a small grab bag of 5 inspirations chosen for you:</p><p>“<i>Well, I've often felt that dreams are answers to questions we haven't yet figured out how to ask</i>.” [David Duchovny playing the character Fox Mulder The X-Files 1995)]</p><p>“<i>Always remember Bilbo, when your heart wants lifting, think of pleasant things...  Eggs and bacon. A good, full pipe. My garden at twilight</i>.” [Gandalf & Bilbo Baggins]</p><p>“<i>Do words mean different things to men & women? And if they do is it possible that we have lost something in the process of defining them? And if that’s so, what about the stories? What’s gone missing</i>?” [The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams]</p><p>"<i>When nothing's working, it might be a cosmic conspiracy to get you to experiment</i>." [Caroline Casey]</p><p>“<i>What’s really important here is not the big things others have created but the continuous, one-by-one small things you yourself have and are. Never underestimate your power as a creator!</i>” [<a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank">Quarter Moon Story Arts</a>]</p><p><strong>You’re invited</strong>: “<i>Come for the stories - stay for the magic!</i>” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, including Android, Amazon Music and Audible and join us next time! <strong>Remember to stop by the website, check out the S
