Jenn in FL Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 It is cold (for FL anyway) and rainy here today with the temperature projected to head steadily downhill. I woke up this morning and mindlessly reached in my closet for a random hoodie on a hanger. Just your basic over the head gray hoodie...and this is the one I ended up with... it made my day and made me smile. Read. Think. Learn. That's all. :coolgleamA: 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 So, to clarify, there are words on your hoodie that say: "Read. Think. Learn." Correct? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenn in FL Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) So, to clarify, there are words on your hoodie that say: "Read. Think. Learn." Correct? Yes, that is correct...with one word per "line." Many years ago, a previous (and formerly) prolific poster created that phrase as a sort of life mantra and used it as a motivator on these boards. For a brief period of time, she sold items on Cafe Press bearing that phrase. Nice memories... :thumbup1: Edited December 8, 2017 by Jenn in FL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Huh. Guess I wasn't on the boards then. Glad it brought back good memories for you! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixpix5 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 I love those moments of nostalgic. Whenever WTM boardies make reference to times before it seemed so connected, supportive and awesome. Wish I could have been homeschooling in those days :) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, she posts from time to time on the Book a Week thread under a different posting name. Regards, Kareni 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Kareni Indeed it was and I do catch her BAW posts, I'm just not active in that group, (I have nothing profound enough to share...lol) although I follow it regularly. :thumbup1: It genuinely made me smile when I saw Read.Think.Learn. popping off the hanger this morning... :001_rolleyes: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jlynn Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Those were Good days on the WTM boards. I hardly posted back then, but fondly remember MMV’s posts. Thanks for posting her updated blog site. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is an inspiration and helped read me read widely outside my comfort zones Oh Robin, thank you for the kind 'shout out' from you, especially! : ) Re: Nerdishly. "Ayup." Lol...BTDT and a I've been a follower of hers for a long long time now... Years ago, way before she became a WTM legend, she kindly assisted me in navigating Chicago neighborhoods. We did not relocate, but I have never forgotten her time nor her kindness. #respect Totally unbeknownst to her, her private personal tragedy of a few years ago, served as the catalyst for my dh, (who watched as I cried for days) to spend an entire morning warning, "his military troops" (and at that time, he had A LOT of troops) about vehicular safety. An untold number of lives were at least warned... Thanks for 'remembering' me! #hugerespect for you and your BAW thread! You too, are a WTM gem! Thank you! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Aw, thank you doll! Susan created something wonderful here with the forums, full of gems, each unique and full of life. Isn't it amazing how lives intersect and the ripple affect it causes. We share in each other's happiness, sadness and losses. What we take, what we give, what we learn from each other. We never realize how it may help or change someone else down the road. From Melissa's Read, Think, Learn to my own personal favorite - Live, Love, Laugh. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
