0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ... Happy New Year!


I set a lofty blogging goal last year, average one post per day for the entire year. I managed to reach my milestone.   That's a huge accompishment for me; writing 365 posts in 365 days.I live most of my written life in variable and number form. Reading good, writing a challenge. 

2009 will surely prove to be another interesting year.  For starters there is the inauguration parade and dance auditions from Indiana to Georgia. The rest of our first sixty days will also include all things bankruptcy, creditors, lawyers and future landlords. 

As scary as bankruptcy may seem, I view it as another  new begining.  A begining that is related to the renewal of our relationship.  It is reminder that we have a fresh start and we can take that other road:

        ...I Shall be telling this with a sigh

        Somewhere ages and ages hence:

        Two roads diverged in a wood and I - 

        I took the one less traveled by,

       And that has made all the difference.

I always loved that quote. I remember coming across it when there was a show on PBS called "Different Drummer" (I think).

Great attitude for your new beginning, glad to hear (read) it.

Like Yogi Berra said,"When you come to a fork in the road. Take it". Works for me.
