In the previous entry, I said that I'd try to spread out my posts throughout the week ahead.

Here it is; time's up, and I'm doing it again - clustering them all at once. And yet, despite this, I feel a good sense of achievement.

The image for this post tells the tale. My hard drive failed, taking all of the information on it to an early grave. The drive is in a service center, with the techs trying to restore my data. (More on that in another post.)

I could have used this as an excuse to not publish this week. But
I chose to publish all the same.

About Opportunity!

As I had a good deal of original material on that drive (music I composed, stories and story ideas, etc.), I could have let frustration get the better of me; I did not. Opportunity does not come to those who mope. It comes to those who are ready; and even more to those who create it out of imagination and will.

Thus I looked at this as an opportunity to make a fresh start - independent of my personal history.

Instead of a rotten week, it turned out to be a good one after all.
