Happy 2008

When thinking about the year to come I started musing on my favorite poem. This is not the lateral leap it may seem as I’m afraid due to my increasing banality 🙂 it’s The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. In particular the last few lines of the 3rd verse


Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

So I guess my message for 2008 is to take it as it comes, a cascade of new possibilities. Don’t get mired in trying to achieve the targets of 2007. Many will forensically analyse the past year, considering minutae like targets for physical fitness, weight, finances, love etc. A pot-pourri of concerns. Don’t be afraid to dump all these and just get on with life.
