Quotable Mondays: A New Book

“No, this is not the beginning of a new chapter in my life; 

this is the beginning of a new book! That first book is already 

closed, ended, and tossed into the seas; this new book is 

newly opened, has just begun! Look, it is the first page! And 

it is a beautiful one!” 

― C. JoyBell C.

I have taken a longer than anticipated sabbatical from this blog. Sometimes you find yourself in life's doldrums and things slide onto the back burner unknowingly. Three months ago my professional life was thoroughly disrupted and I went through a period of introspection. The past three months in many ways has felt like a cocoon. I am now emerging from that cocoon and testing my new found wings.  I like the idea of starting a new book vs a new chapter premise of this quote.

Quotable: Tuesday edition

"The last of the human freedoms-

To choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances,

To choose one's own way."

Victor Frankl

Quotable Monday "Resolution Reboot"

"January is always a good month for behavioral economics: Few things illustrate self-control as vividly as New Year's resolutions. February is even better, though, because it lets us study why so many of those resolutions are broken."
