Home will always be Northern Ireland but my schedule means for the next few years I won't be there as much. I can't do the same things that I did a year ago. That is I'm something conscious of, but I'm not sad about it. It's fine.
You have to enjoy it. It is not going to happen every year, so this is the year that it is happening and we have got to go out there and enjoy it.
Have sufficient food, clothing, and fuel on hand to last at least one year.
What have you done for YOURSELF this year to create a better life?
No one who can rise before dawn three hundred sixty days a year fails to make his family rich.
Life is an admirable arrangement, isn't it, little mother. It is so clever of it to have June in every year and a morning in every day, let alone things like birds, and Shakespeare, and one's work.
What I did next was so impulsive and dangerous I should've been named ADHD poster child of the year.
I wasn't particularly afraid of death itself. As Shakespeare said, die this year and you don't have to die the next.

I went to school for marketing for one year before I dropped out of college to make music.
Unless we are making progress in our nursing every year, every month, every week, take my word for it we are going back.
My career is going to be played out year by year. Will I be here in 2004? I don't know. The record won't keep me here. Happiness will.
Never look for the birds of this year in the nests of the last.
For one year I did go to Performing Arts School, and I had very weird friends.
I saw the days of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes, and separating one box from another was sleep, like a black shade. Only for me, the long perspective of shades that set off one box from the next day had suddenly snapped up, and I could see day after day after day glaring ahead of me like a white, broad, infinitely desolate avenue.
[On sister Kim's pregnancy] The new year, we've got another child coming, so that's great. Kim's never had a baby, so it's going to be a beautiful blessing.
