circumstantial evidence
This George Barnard Shaw quote was on my Google home page yesterday:
I like that thought a lot. Sometime, I admit, I blame the circumstances - and there have been plenty of circumstance to blame this year. Or at least that's what I've found as I come up with excuses for why I haven't done various things I said I would do.
You know, like writing (aside from work), working more in the garden, cooking more, doing crafty things, etc. etc.
About the only thing at which I've succeeded this year is making more time for friends and family - and really that was the biggest priority of all after finishing grad school.
But if I can stop blaming circumstances and just get down to the nitty-gritty of everything, it will be interesting to see what I can actually accomplish come 2006.
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them.
