Heard a lovely quote today:
"Don't cry because it's over,
Smile because it happened."
Dr. Seuss

About Me
- hesitant scribe
- The more I learn, the more I realise I know absolutely nothing. What else?! So far, I've never lived anywhere longer than 10 years, and would love to emigrate again one day. I speak Spanish (badly) and French (even worse) but do okay in English. I'm trying to write a novel for my PhD inbetween teaching and being wife and mother of two... and I just took up horse riding before I get too old. You can now read some of my writing at Hesitant Scribblings

Love it and it's so true.
Lisa, I can't make up my mind whether that is a sad post or a happy post or just a great quote!
Hope you are feeling 'well'
xx
Very true.
Ooh I love that.
It's a great quote and so true. We should all think that way.
That's a quote I've used quite a bit. So true!
Good innit! Think I might look out for more!
