Resist the Chronicle

[minoanmiss]

I have been trying to resist the urge to quantify my year in any way because this year I do not think such a project would help me. And then eftychia posted this beautiful and useful thought:

"We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential." -- Ellen Goodman

Potential. Okay, let's see where I can go with that.

*hugs* If after 42 years of so much pain you're still somebody who makes and gives so much love and light in so many ways — no matter how dark the night, I will always be betting on you.
