All Steps Forward; No Steps Back

Often in this blog you will see me refer to Route 1.  For those of you out of state, Route 1 is *THE* major highway here in Delaware: The Land of No Sales Tax (I'm trying to get them to make that the state motto, but it hasn't been quite so effective).  While the point of Route 1 is to be able to go north to Wilmington or I-95 or go south to the beaches, there is constant construction.  Constant.  It all seems timed around whenever the hell you have to get somewhere, and it can be frustrating (to be more accurate, add a word or two that you can't say on TV.  Then multiply it times a million).

When we No-Sales-Taxians (it will catch on!) drive that way, there's inevitably some sort of delay.  It might be construction, texting drivers, or "Oh No There Are Flurries So I Can't Remember How To Drive" Syndrome (seems to be an epidemic these days).  So, what do we do?  Sometimes we have to take another route in order to get where we need to be, and while it can seem like a step backwards, it's not.  There's no such thing as two steps forward and one step back; it's still three steps forward.  It's getting us where we want to be even if our compass tells us that we're going the wrong way.

Day One; Day Won; Day Wonderful

It's here.  Finally.  A new year and with it the equal parts cliché and real opportunities that come along with it.  There were a ton of major events in 2013 in the world, and even more that, while personal to you, were thus far anonymous to the rest of us.  Happy ones like babies being born and heartbreaking ones like not being able to have babies at all.  It's amazing how nearly identical sentences can have completely different meanings both for yesterday and today.  But they don't mean that tomorrow can't be better.  Or even better than better has ever been.

No matter what your 2013 was like, it's over.  A blank slate, a new semester (yeah, I know, school = boos and hisses), and a chance to not just be better this year but for 2014 to be the first in a permanent line of best years of your life (no, can't promise a VH1 TV show based on your year, but we can give it a hell of a shot!).  If you want it to be better, then it will.  If you don't, then it won't.  It's really that simple.
