ADAPT


Back to work today: dredging up passwords, putting up a new calendar, adjusting to the schedule. The nearest restrooms in the building are still under renovation, which means we have to trek a half block to and from the next nearest. Makes one plan one’s day a bit more carefully.

Looking at the paper on my desk, I can see that no fairy godmother waved a wand at my cubicle during the winter hiatus. Fortunately, we are all in the same boat on this one. “I’ve slept since then” is on everyone’s lips.

The word of the day for January 2, 2007 is “adapt” — to make fit (as for a specific or new use or situation) often by modification.

Our quote for today is from: Martha Beck, O Magazine, "Growing Wings", January 2004:
Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking but a full-on metamorphosis.
