So this is where it begins….a new dawn, a new year, a new decade!

The first thing I read this new day of this new 2017 was written by George MacDonald (from his Diary of an Old Soul compiled by CS Lewis)

Lord, what I once had done with youthful might
Had I been from the first true to the truth,
Grant me, now old, to do– with better sight.
And humbler heart, if not the brain of youth,
So wilt thou, in thy gentleness and ruth
Lead back thy old soul, by the path of pain,
Round to his best- young eyes and heart and brain.
