ON THIS DAY IN ...

2004 – Stardust successfully flies past Comet Wild 2, collecting samples that are returned to Earth.
Quote of the day:
“Yet the definition we have made of ourselves is ourselves. To break out of it, we must make a new self. But how can the self make a new self when the selflessness which it is, is the only substance from which the new self can be made?”
~ Robert Penn Warren, All the King’s Men
Today 2019 really starts as we [well I guess I’m talking from a place of privilege here because I am lucky enough to have a job] drag ourselves back to the workaday world, and the kids head off to school. Hereabouts the clouds have settled in and the day is appropriately gray as our moods as we deal with the detritus left by the EOY and the holidays as we get ready for all the financial reporting and reconciliations that are needed. The news is equally bleak as the stock market shimmies and the politicians dig in. Bit of a let down …
And yet, there is still a feeling of renewal, of newness, of a second or third or 68th chance to make different choices. May 2019 be a good year for one and all!
