"We spend January 1 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
That's a nice quote! And indeed something different to be done this year!!
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting way to look at the New Year.

Amen to that thought, Susan. What an optimistic way to begin a new chapter. Truly, we do tend to look for the negative and what needs to be fixed, while there is always so much goodness that is already there to enjoy. I do hope you enjoy your 2010, Susan. Happy New Year to you!
