One-Liner Wednesday: “I Know It’s Been a Long Time Comin’…”

“I know it’s been a long time comin’…”

—Steve Perry

Steve Perry, former leader singer of Journey and THE greatest male singer of all time if you ask me, posted this statement on his new social media accounts and website earlier this week, seemingly alluding to a new album on the way. Well, today his accounts confirm that he does have a new album coming out! It’s named Traces and is scheduled to be released on October 5, 2018. This is really exciting since it’s been 24 years since his last album, For the Love of Strange Medicine, came out in 1994. His music has meant so much to my family and me, so I love this news and chose to quote his hint for my one-liner Wednesday entry for this week! I also wanted to spread the word to those of you who are also fans of his but may not have heard about this yet!

One-Liner Wednesday

“Yell ape for next stop.”

–Sign seen on a New York City bus back in the 90s; it had been altered from its original wording, “Press yellow tape for next stop.” This has always amused me and my only regret is that I saw this before we all had phones with cameras in our pockets! At least I have the memory, though, and I wanted to share it with you…Just try to avoid laughing about it to yourself if it comes to mind next time you’re on a bus, as has happened with me. People will assume things…

One-Liner Wednesday: Self-Care

We can all use a friendly reminder to not neglect ourselves or feel guilty for taking some time to regroup. Self-care is a necessity for all of us — and it actually helps us to accomplish what we want and need to do. So, I hope you have a blessed day that includes some humor and adequate rest!

 

 

One-Liner Wednesday: Inspiration for Writers

“If there’s a book you really want to read but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”

–Toni Morrison

* This post was created as part of Linda G. Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday series. I posted this quote because recently I’ve been putting together ideas for a book I plan to write; I’d been searching for a book on a specific topic but couldn’t find exactly what I wanted, and that’s when this familiar quote popped into my mind. Although I’d heard it many times over the years, in that moment it took on special significance. I’m hoping that sharing it here will be a helpful reminder for other writers, too!

One-Liner Wednesday: What?!

“This is certainly nice publish, I’m going to shaire the idea for our frinds.”

–comment recently left for me very randomly on an old post of mine, caught by the WordPress spam filter. I appreciate the “compliment,” but WordPress is clearly right about this kind of comment!

Note: this post was created as part of LindaGHill’s One-Liner Wednesday. The criteria is for the one-liner to be funny or motivational. In the past, I’ve usually gone with motivational, but this time I had to go with funny when I saw this as I did a long-overdue purge of pending comments…hope you enjoyed it. I figured many of my fellow bloggers would be able to relate to this kind of amusing“comment!” 🙂

One-Liner Wednesday: Life Purpose
