Failure is the only opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely.
Henry Ford
I was struck by the symbol on the airport sign indicating that you cannot pass this way again if you turn around and leave.
There are pathways you can not re-enter once you leave but there are many that allow for a turn around.
My One Little Word for 2018 is Umkehr and it is a word that allows for great hope.
Six months into 2017 I was worried that I would get tired of the word 'nurture'. I don't have those same concerns this year simple because I don't need to invent new goals or come up with a new plan, I need only to return to those goals that have worked before.
What am I most excited about as I go into the next six months?
*Return to my writing everyday
*Return to healing mode as I do surgery on the second knee.
*Return to planning group lessons for piano students in the Fall
*Return to my weight loss program after surgery
*Return to the art room and create something new
*Return to visiting grandkids with my new car. Yay! I don't have to worry about the car dying on me.
