"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."
~Confucius
You hear that? It's okay to fail! It's okay to try something new and be terrible at it. It's okay to sit down at the computer and write a scene that comes out completely wrong. It's all about getting back up and fixing it. Trying again. Not letting it get the best of us. Because every time we rise back up after a fail, we win.
And now, to get us in the mood for the inevitability of ghosts and goblins coming our way soon, meringue ghost cookies!

Okay. Those ghosts just made my morning ;D
Amen, Peggy, for your incredibly wise and motivating words. I hope you have a great weekend too!
OH my gosh Peggy! I love those ghosts. And I love the quote. I think I need it today. sorry I'm in WA. I'll meet with you when I get back!
Oh MY those are cute.
Thanks for coming through with the inspirational quote, as usual. Hopefully it'll fuel some uncharacteristically prolific writing this weekend...
I'm not sure I could eat those cookies... they're just to cute!

Lovely message for the weekend...You have a good weekend!
To cute to eat! Have a great weekend!
Boo!
woo hoo!
Maybe I can pretend my torch-lighter is a proton stream and play ghostbusters with them before I eat the toasted goodness? :)
This quote really speaks to me this week. I'm not at all any good at getting back up once I've been knocked down but I think I'll do better with meringue as incentive!
wow, those are just the cutest halloween cookies ever!
And very inspiring quote--thank you!
What are talking about Peggy? U never failed at anything! U r uh..mazin.
Those are adorable cookies!
For cute! Love the little ghosts! That is awesome. I wish I were that talented. Also love the quote. That is one of my favorites. :)
Today's quote makes me want to bust out some TobyMac! ;) Those ghosts are adorable. Have a great weekend!
Great quote. And those ghosts are AWESOME :)
How twisted am I? I read that quote and find myself thinking of George from Seinfeld: "I just have to pick myself up, dust myself off, and throw myself right back down again!"
In all seriousness, that's a great quote and a good reminder of what we need to do.
Jolene-- They're a million kinds of awesome, aren't they?
Michelle-- Mine has been totally great, because it's a four-day weekend here (fall break). I hope yours has been as fabulous!

I never like to fail, but the lessons learned are helpful.
Those cookies are so stinkin' cute, and your quote is fabulous. Thanks!
Those cookies are almost too cute to eat!
Love the Confucius quote.
One of my faves is a Japanese proverb: "Fall down seven times, stand up eight."
Happy to be a new follower, Peggy!
Oh they are so cute!! my kind of ghosts - not at all scary ;D
These are just so amazing. I feel inspired! I usually don't bother with puddings, too fiddly, but this, you inspire me!
I think I'm going to like it here... you have cookies on Fridays and I have Something Chocolate on Wednesdays and donuts at every opportunity :)
Robyn-- Go ahead! Have one! And use as many exclamation points as you want. That's what comments are for- prolific use of exclamation points. :)
