Good morning all,
Over the past four months, I've posted a quotation every day and this is just to let you know that today will be my last regular one.
When the pandemic started and Positive Wellbeing was repurposed to help us all through isolation, we had no idea which way the community would take us, and initially it was hectically busy as we all faced a brave new world we'd never encountered before. We were really scared, and although we are still somewhat scared and quite rightly very cautious, the atmosphere has changed now. I wanted to post something regularly as a sort of anchor while we got started, but now we have a real sense of community. We have so many regular posters on so many topics, that making a daily contribution now seems a little redundant.
Coupled with that is a danger, that after so many posts, I'll forget what I posted in the past and will start boring you all to bits with repeating myself (and I'm probably already doing that quite a lot.)
I'm not going away. I shall still contribute on a more ad hoc basis whenever topics pop into my head, and that might or might not be quotations.
As my final one, I thought I'd look for quotations about quotations.
So a bit tongue in cheek here's my final regular one from A A Milne, creator of Winne the Pooh:
“[A] quotation is a handy thing to have about, saving one the trouble of thinking for oneself, always a laborious business." 😊
He's right in one respect, but it's not quite the whole story. There's quite a lot of research for both a fitting theme and sometimes for a picture to accompany it. It does save an awful lot of thinking for oneself to use the words of others, but what a lot of inspiring words we might miss, if we chose our own instead of the words of wiser people than ourselves.
Take care all, and have a lovely Saturday!
