remembrance

God, I offer myself to Thee to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better do Thy Will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy Will always.

Oh, that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would always be with me, and that You would keep me from evil.

Thank You for keeping me sober today. Amen.

Forgetfulness is necessary to remembrance. Ideas are retained by renovation of that impression which time is always wearing away, and which new images are striving to obliterate. If useless thoughts could be expelled from the mind, all the valuable parts of our knowledge would more frequently recur, and every recurrence would reinstate them in their former place. -- Samuel Johnson, Idler, no. 72

Thy remembrance, and repentance, and deep musings are not free
From the music of two voices and the light of one sweet smile. -- Percy Bysshe Shelley, Stanzas—April 1814

I feel some unwillingness to quit the remembrance of the past. With all the hope of the new I feel that we are leaving the old. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Speech, September 12, 1835, on the occasion of the second centennial anniversary of the town of Concord

Yesterday was a fine day except that my allergies have been acting up. I'm prepared to perform all my year-end close activities at Miller the next few days once the fiscal year ends today. After work, I spent about three hours cleaning the refrigerator and the kitchen and mopping the floors of my old apartment. I threw away some more stuff and got the last of my belongings out. I was a little sad as I turned out the lights and closed the door for the last time. I will miss that place. It was a good home for me for the last seven years.

I cam back to the condo and returned calls to Uncle Hal and to Mom and Dad. I hope I get to continue seeing Uncle Hal more often. I like hanging out with him. Not much else. I've got to return the keys to my landlord and get caught up on Lambda's books soon. Now, on to work.
