Christine's Hello

Hello - February 2010 Hello - February 2010

There are probably more quotes about love than any other topic, and why not, when love is what makes the world go round? With St Valentine’s Day this month, there’s no better time to read what famous people have said about love: “It’s easy to halve the potato where there’s love” Irish proverb “You can’t blame gravity for falling in love” Albert Einstein “If you would be loved, love and be lovable” Benjamin Franklin “When you are in Love you can’t fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams” Dr Seuss “Love: a temporary insanity, curable...

The search for new words and the fun of fitting everything together is the motivation, but along the way a pat on the back with a prize is wonderful. Thank you very much. Best wishes to you all.
