DEPARTURE

Well, I've decided to start my new blog in Blogger. http://gryph-wotd.blogspot.com/ is where you'll find me.

The word of the day for October 1, 2008 is "departure" — Pronunciation: \di-ˈpär-chər\

1 a (1): the act or an instance of departing. (2)archaic : death. b: a setting out (as on a new course). 2: divergence. 2 [a departure from tradition].

Our quote for the day is from Socrates (469–399 B.C.), Greek philosopher. quoted in Plato’s Apology, sct. 42a.:

     The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways—I to die and you to live. Which is the better, only God knows.

Dearst Jan,  If you have read my latest blog you will see how devastated I am..to think of loosing so many friends is dreadful..then I begin to realise you can never loose friends..they are friends because you hold them in your heart..and until that stops they will always be there.  whether I will make a new journal is a question that I am unable to answer now. It is such a hard thing for me to do...somehow I find it hard to lean new tricks these days !!  however after my holiday to South Africa we go Monday back 27th.  I will feel stronger and more able to cope.. So until next time dear Jan. Thank you for your friendship...I have taken note of your new add on blogspot...so at least I will be able to see what you are up to. Although the one blogspot friend I do read I don't seem to be able to write a comment so I have just to e mail her...which isn't quite the same !   Love Sybilx
