I've been feeling quite querulous lately, as though I'm living in a quagmire. But, I've decided it must all stop. Enough of the quavering and quarrels inside my head. It's time to look at myself in the mirror and state, uneQuivocally, that I am born of quality, the queen of my realm, a quintessential mother and grandmother, and no quitter. I'm beginning to enjoy the quiescence and a
m quenching my soul through planning and researching for some of my needier students. I no longer question some of the decisions I've recently been forced to make; instead I quote my personal mantra: "Tis better to be alone than to wish you were." And following are some famous quotations from those much wiser than me (even "anonymous") about the loss of love:It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
(Alfred Lord Tennyson)
Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself by putting it back together.
(Anonymous)
Never regret. If it's good, it's wonderful. If it's bad, it's experience.
(Victoria Holt)
When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.
(Alexander Graham Bell)
If you're going through hell, keep going.
(Winston Churchill)

Wonderful, Leslie, I'm proud of you. That's absolutely the right attitude, much better than querulous or quavering or quarrelsome.
Queen of your realm, for sure.
Great use of the letter Q, however.

Such wise quotations, Churchill's made me smile.
That's a great quote Leslie about "wishing" to be alone. Sometimes the loneliest time is with someone isn't it? I love that you are carrying on with gusto!
Yes, indeed! Good for you Leslie and you do have a great attitude. Great quotes and so true! We can all benefit from those who've gone before when we're struggling with hurt and pain. You're getting to the other side of it and you'll be the better for it! One day at a time!

Well written - I can sure relate to that stage and wish you well with yours! The quotes are excellent...
I always enjoy quotes. You have a great selection.
The woman on an autumn road twirling her umbrella captured my attention and, of course, made me think of Penelope Puddle. You came up with some unique Q words. And I agree … one should never “quit” on the daily miracles of life. :)
I like Q for question best of all, that is something I think I will do for ever.
Great choices for Q and I enjoyed reading the quotations. A
