Well, Donna did it, so I thought I’d play along. It makes me think I should aim for more auspicious first sentences of my own (some of these are quotes).
January: Answering a question posed by a reader who wanted to know what one of the bulletin board quotes was (it was too blurry)
February: this is the garden: colours come and go,
March: Because of a total absence of information, when I booked my flight, I took the earliest flight because the travel agent had been told we were to arrive by noon Sunday.
April: People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
May: The crucial differences which distinguish human societies and human beings are not biological.
June: Q: Should we avoid eating meat, since it entails killing?
July: This item was used at the weddings of two sets of friends.
August: This was my mind before I had my massage last week.
September: On Labor Day, Husband and I went out to Henry Coe State Park for a hike.
October: This…made me cry.
November: Last year I joined Kat at Kat’s Paws to make art everyday in November.
December: Well, whatever funk hit me yesterday held off today (or disappeared?).

I still remember the Free Hugs video that your October quote refers to.
Have a great day.
