Moving Forward?

The second day of 2019 dawned and it was much like many of the days left behind in 2018.

It is funny how I think about the passing of years in a linear fashion, with a forward and a back. Why not an up and down like a ladder? I don't know. Perhaps it is because we perceive time linearly and therefor there is a forward and reverse. 

On one hand, each day can be much like the other, yet they follow in a progression. 

Yesterday, for instance, was much like the last few days of 2018. The day was cool, but not cold and overcast all day. The lack of sunshine is becoming standard for the region.

But, for me, this is a three day week. There is a Monday (yesterday), a Wednesday (today), and a Friday (tomorrow). I could get used to this. 

Well, day three is upon me! It is time to get moving and face the joys of the day. My big question for the day is: Will the sun shine?
