Good-bye, 2009


I won't make excuses or whine. I did not use time wisely. I did not come close to finishing The Metamorphoses of Ovid. I read only two more works of nonfiction and two more classics than I did in 2008. Once again, I did not read Ulysses.

I did not curtail my book purchases, I did not cut down on time spent on the internet, I did not meet my expectations in any shape, form, or fashion.

I survived the madness, however.

And that's good enough.

    Oh, how I can relate. I have definitely not used my time wisely, either. I also did not curtail my book purchases or cut down on my internet time.

    I hear you, sister. :)
