Today

* * chirp * *  * * chirp * * * * chirp * *

That sound of crickets means only one thing...

It has been very quiet on the Dotopotamus for awhile.

A time of change and challenges, saying goodbye and saying hello.

But today? 

Today is about new beginnings.

And new stories.

But first?

A hello from Dot and Randy.

Dot's first visit to the ocean about one month ago.

Trying again.

"Life is no straight and easy corridor along

which we travel free and unhampered,

but a maze of passages,

through which we must seek our way,

lost and confused, now and again

checked in a blind alley.

But always, if we have faith,

a door will open for us,

not perhaps one that we ourselves

would ever have thought of,

but one that will ultimately

prove good for us."

A.J. Cronin

To new beginnings!
