A good point, Bob, and a timely one!
Becky Povich is hosting a blog hop and giveaway to introduce readers who are not already aware of him to our friend, Robert Brault, a famed freelance writer (and quote-master) whose name isn't nearly as well known as it ought to be.
For instance, did you know it was he who coined the phrase, Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things?
Enough said! If you love a good wordsmith, then I suggest you head on over and check out his marvelous blog, where pithy thinking is the order of the day.
Overheard in a Washington D.C. church confessional: "Bless me Father, for sins have been committed."
Ya gotta love it, right? Talk about nailing political-speak and lack of accountability on the head. Nobody does it better.
=)
PS. If you're looking for lovely but reasonably-priced Christmas gifts, Robert has a calendar out this season, and the price is right. For the letter-writing crowd, he also has note cards. As a matter of fact, Becky will be giving away a calendar or set of note cards to the lucky winner of her blog hop drawing. So head on over and check it out, okay?
And just in case you've got nothing better to do than win a handmade quilt, don't forget to comment here so you can take part in my 1000th-post contest! Winners will be announced on Thursday.

a blog hop is a great idea for getting people to find worthy blogs.
I love the ingratitude quote.
Hi Sue, Thanks for such a great blog. We hope to send you lots of readers. :)

Thanks much,

Hi Sue! Thanks so much for helping me promote the Awesome Mr. Brault! One of my commenters referred to it as: Braultize the world!
Isn't that great?!
Going to check out his blog now!
You'll be glad you did, Eva. He's got more good quotes than Eli Lilly has pills. (Had to change that old saying from "Carter" because that company isn't so well known for that now...)
;)
Off to check it out.
Thanks for sharing.
nice...thank you for the introduction...i will give him a visit straight away...
Definitely think I should know him!
I hated to comment because i was loving listening to the pretty music...ha!
You travel in interesting circles, Sue. It will be fun to get to know your friend!!
I just couldn't love that quote more!
That quote is awesome. Thanks.
Never heard of him, but will check it out.
Thanks.
ARE YOU STINKIN KIDDING ME? I LOVE quotes and sayings and words of wisdom and I have never heard of this guy (really not too surprising since I read Twilight right - Ha ha). I am hooked. Thank you thank you for bringing this to my attention.
Wow!
Oh you know I love Robert Brault - AND I've already purchased some calendars. Yes, he's one of my favorites.
I love those quotes - on my way over to have a look at his site.
Great suggestion. What a clever guy!!
Thanks for the recommendation! Love it.
This is my first time visiting your blog. It's nice to "meet" you.
I love this quote. Some people are just wordsmiths, aren't they?
Sue, thanks so much for your kind endorsement. And thanks, too, to your friends for giving me a look-see. What an enjoyable day it's been, discovering fascinating new people. Smiles, rb.
I used to check in to his blog now and again...loved it. Been a long time though. Thanks for the reminder.
I used that quote about the 'little things' being the big things, in a talk I gave once at a stake RS meeting....now I will go check out the blog!
Oh now I see what you mean....I'm going to love his blog. Thank you so much for letting us know about it. And I just order his calendar. :)
He sounds great, Sue! I will head over and check his site out!
