This whole weekend passed by like a nightmare - it really feels unreal now that I am on my way to recovery from a bout of stomach flu. And the weather, too, I remember seeing snow out of the window in my dehydrated stupor, which seems unreal given how it is now outside.

Thought of the day: suffering isn't punishment; it is just life. You just have to learn to live in uncertainty.

A morning silhouette on MLK Day. Aptly, I quote from his 'I have a dream' speech:

"But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force."

Taken at sundown. New Year's Day always has a 'day after' feel to it. My thought for the day:

For me, a day lived well has a serene, quiet quality about it. I would like to increase that quality of stillness and peacefulness in my life.

In fact, this will be my New Year's Resolution.
