Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1216 - #ThursdaysChild
15 Dec, 2025
THURSDAY'S CHILD
"Thursday's child has far to go."
Mother Goose
"The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one."
Mark Twain
"In a way it's not bad to realize that things can never be the same again."
Garima Soni
After all the frantic sorting, packing,
moving prep, and moving,
came running into the brick wall,
being run over by the Mack Truck,
almost a week in bed,
the sickest I've been since COVID
(and no, it's not COVID).
In fact, I thought it was a collapse
not an illness at all
until Rufus was one day behind me
crashing with the very same symptoms.
So, yes,
illness it was.
Is.
Still recovering.
Wednesday was the latest in the week
the MMQ had ever been written,
and then the elements called out,
"Hold my snowdrift!
This week we won't be able to write
until Thursday!
(But I will turn your view into a fantasy winter wonderland
while you're healing.)"
So here we are,
writing on Thursday,
setting off on Thursday,
challenges to meet,
mountains to climb,
grateful for the depths that Wednesday offered
to set me off on Thursday's journey,
ready to do and meet and climb,
ready to find joy in odd, small places,
ready to find meaning in dark times.
We still have so far to go.
And yet
here we are.
Here we are.
