As Tina has already announced on Facebook, we’ve moved most of the small stuff from the third-floor room. It’s now at the house. She has a mind of getting the room off from the kitchen packed and moved as well. Again, nothing big. It’s just the stuff we can comfortably handle. Well, as comfortable as possible, considering the cold weather.

And yes, as always, Tina only ever moves on frigidly cold days. She will, of course, blame me.

It is on the First Day of January that we renew our commitment to be ourselves. The past is gone, having existed for a moment. No longer will it be clear. For memory, as all things are, is dependent on our clarity of mind at the moment of inception. Awareness of this moment also sets the path for the future. So, as we look forward, remember to enjoy the outcome of the past. Good, bad, or indifferent, our choices to the challenges of yesteryear have resulted in are being who we are right here right now. And who we are is the starting point of who we will become. We are both the ending and the beginning. Always. In every moment.
