Memorable quote:
“The point is to piss about.”
There are actually a few quotes I jotted down during this episode that I want to keep, but when trying to narrow them down to one, I had a clear winner. It’s not the most useful quote or the most inspiring quote or even the quote that makes me think the most, but it’s my favorite because it’s all of those things and more.
Tim is a big fan of lists. I’m not – at least, I haven’t been. I understand their importance and I get how they’re useful, but I’ve never thought of myself as a list-keeper. My husband and I have often poked fun at my oldest sister and her mass of lists, my favorite quote so far from my husband being, “She has a list for her lists.” Only the way Tim spoke about lists in this episode made me rethink that because I do keep lists. Maybe not the same as my sister, but I definitely have them in my own way.
And I’ve realized they’re fun. Or maybe Tim’s made them fun. Or maybe I’m letting myself have fun. Either way, it’s something to think on because if I were to change today’s memorable quote, it would be to “Lists are the creative mind’s best friend.” I hadn’t made that connection at all until he said it and made me actually look at my life and see it.
So now, I guess I’ll embrace a few more lists. Especially now that I’ve typed that word so much, it no longer appears real.
