to see a good end in all that and to find a good beginning in myself

I had gone back again to my little house and stood up on its roof and wanted to see a good end in all that and to find a good beginning in myself. And now, let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been…And now let us believe in a long year that is given to us, new, untouched, full of things that have never been…

~ Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to his wife in The Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke: 1892-1910

    Amen, Dave!
    Let any sour note in the New Year be nothing more than an opportunity to use it to begin a new symphony.
