Monday's special

Posted by Claudia Moser on 7:05 AM in ,
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.
Plato

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.
Confucius

The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year.
Voltaire

We are born at a given moment, in a given place and, like vintage years of wine, we have the qualities of the year and of the season of which we are born. Astrology does not lay claim to anything more.
Carl Jung

Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.
George Bernard Shaw

I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.
Bette Davis

Words do not change their meanings so drastically in the course of centuries as, in our minds, names do in the course of a year or two.
Marcel Proust

Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?
Horace

One year ago

Posted by Claudia Moser on 6:54 PM in , ,
While I was waiting for Beth to post this week theme under the GBE2, I did not realise that the click will happen so automatic. She mentioned one year ago, and I thought of Queen's song, One year of love.

Sadly I did not find a good record of the song, but quite a good cover



This automatic link was probably due to the first lines

Just one year of love
Is better than a lifetime alone
One sentimental moment in your arms
Is like a shooting star right through my heart
It's always a rainy day without you

since it is raining so hard outside and I miss Peter so much. He is still in hospital, doing much much better, but still we are both alone. Usually when we have heavy storms, we find each other and drink coffee and watch the nature's power.

What makes it harder is the fact that he will be released tomorrow, but I have to go on a business trip (for two days only but still!) and I will not be present when he returns ...

One year of love, for me that is what stands behind me and I am sure also ahead!

Thank you Beth for letting me acknowledge that!

Motto

"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
by Alice Munro
