Christmas quote for you. :)

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat

I have so many favorites as I'm a quote nerd but one of them is by Henry Ford - "Whether you think you can or think you cannot, you are right."

I'm a quote nerd too! :)

Okay, here's a good one for the New Year for us artist types:
