(In celebration of ten years of blogging here at LTG, each week for the next 52 51 weeks I will delve deep into the sewer archives of past posts to bring you a tidbit of blog history. I had originally planned to call this series “The best of LTG”, but damn, there just wasn’t much “best” to be found. And mediocre is too hard to spell.)
On December 30, 2010 I took note of my final day at work in “That about sums it up”. I ended that post on this hopeful note:
But I’m going to make sure this is merely the transition time between adventures. Or go crazy. One of those.
Maybe I am crazy, but it occurs to me now that life is always just one big transition. I suppose that state of perpetual transition might on occasion include adventure. More often it just hurts.
Now at last I have come to see what life is,
Nothing is ever ended, everything only begun,
And the brave victories that seem so splendid
Are never really won.
Even love that I built my spirit’s house for,
Comes like a brooding and a baffled guest,
And music and men’s praise and even laughter
Are not so good as rest.”
― Sara Teasdale,
john, I’m sure you’ve heard it before but I believe it’s worth repeating, “the only thing that remains constant in our life is change”. hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have a happy new year.
Thanks, and to you and yours as well!
