At the Ending of the Year



The current year is about to roll over into the new and many people are taking the time to pause, reflect, and generally sort out how their lives are going so they can figure out how to proceed into the new calendar year.

My year begins with the solstice and the returning of the light so this exercise has been much on my mind of late,.

I have a little book called A Grateful Heart with quotations from various sources and from time to time I will pick it up and open it randomly.

Inevitably it will open to precisely the quote I need.  Today it was:

No longer forward nor behind
I look in hope or fear;
But, grateful, take the good I find,
The best of now and here.
     John Greenleaf Whittier
