But what if you do a really terrific Judy Garland? Does that count?

As nervous as a canary in a cathouse
I couldn’t help noticing, Lorna, you rock. As for your query, SwanShadow, doing a great Judy rather than trying to be her makes all the difference. Impersonations are certainly part of some damn good selves. Need a mic?
PS: Both their comments were in reply to..
“Always be a first-rate version of yourself, not a second-rate version of someone else.” – Judy Garland (live completely, not comparatively)
This is a series I can get into, and not just because I have a triple shot every day either.

I’m gonna text that one to my husband. He’s a man of very few words, he’ll love it. Thanks.

Two Jamies in a row?! That just feels lucky!? Since you both have espresso habits, it’s surely a good omen. Thank you, presumably [@ least slightly] less-caffeinated Jamie, for what may not be your first visit but is your first comment!
Good on your husband as he’s hopefully offering quality if not a quantity of words.
PS: Her comment was in reply to..
“Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something.” Plato (what words define, actions create)
I am so that quote
Tis good then that life truly is a journey, not a destination, eh?
Our willingness to reassess keeps that journey on the right track too so we just need to keep taking steps, no matter how many first ones there are.
PS: Her comment was in reply to..
“The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.” – Ben Stein (hint: the unexpected moments of joy)
Love that Eleanor Roosevelt. I heard her described as America’s first woman president. Loved that too.

Hey, a little bird told me that birthday greetings are in order. Happy 40th! I’ll hit that same milestone myself next month.

I am loving the whole page dear, the daily quotes are wonderful.
Thanks, Dorian, for your inspiration. I love that Plato quote and added it to my quotebook. And also the Anatole France quote!
Your writing exudes appreciation. Abraham-Hicks says that appreciation is the closest thing to “pure Source energy” that we humans experience. As I appreciate your appreciation, I’m surely automatically polishing my halo.

Socrates is one of my favorite philosophers. Thank you for sharing this, dear Dorian.
Thanks for sharing these quotes, I like the last one the best.
