Quotes, you say?

  Helene in Between came up with a Blogtober idea where you blog everyday in the month of October... yeah, I haven't done that. BUT, I'm enjoying the last morning of my BFF vacay waiting for the sun to come out so we can go outside and play with my camera! These Appalachian Mountains are absolutely stunning, and I want the best sun when we take photos. SO, until that happens, we are messing around, having laughs at her somewhat street (ghetto) dog, and doing bloggie things over coffee.

  Back to the Blogtober, I did like today's prompt, Favorite quote and why, so I'm going to do that one today! 

My favorite quote is this:

 The why is this: 

  Ever since learning about Queen Elizabeth in school, I am utterly fascinated with her. Here comes this girl, with the whole world against her, including her immediate family, and she conquers all against the odds. How awesome is that? She is the epitome of a strong woman to me. How much strength did she have to have to 1. be a woman in her time period and 2. lead and make a kingdom successful? She's beyond amazing. So, when I came across this quote from her, I knew it was to be my favorite for all the obvious reasons. I often joke that who knows what I would've become if my body would keep up with my wants. Well, I sort of know, I would've went into the military and wouldn't have stopped climbing that ladder until I am at the top. I also joke when we watch some secret spy movie that I could have been that, or that, or something else where I'm a tough cookie.

  But, God had other plans for me, and I'm okay with that. I can have the body of a weak and feeble woman, because I know, deep down, that I, too, have the heart and stomach of a king.
