New and Renew

The first line of a student paper last semester was, "One day, I decided I was tired of waiting to die."

The last line of Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections is, "She was seventy-five and she was going to make some changes in her life."

I had a classmate at the U who, after 25 years as an accountant and then a divorce, decided to return to school at last to get her graduate degree in English.

Happy New Year--emphasis on New.

And renew.

All things go.  All things grow.
