Everyone Needs Some Time To Themselves.

But The Important Thing About Learning To Wait, I Feel Sure, Is To Know What You Are Waiting For.

What, I Sometimes Wonder, Would It Be Like If I Lived In A Country Where Winter Is A Matter Of A Few Chilly Days And A Few Weeks' Rain; Where The Sun Is Never Far Away, And The Flowers Bloom All Year Long?

Solitude Is Pleasant. Loneliness Is Not.

So It Is Necessary That We Should Learn To Be Alone.

I Have Always Found It Difficult To Wait For Things - Whether It Was To See My Father Or Sailor Brother, Alan, Again After Their Long Sea Trips, Or The Chance Of A Better Job, Or Even New Curtains.
