Daily Guideposts

The New Year lies before you
Like a spotless track of snow.
Be careful how you tread it,
For every mark will show.

In 1977 Norman Vincent Peale and his wife, Ruth, began publishing the annual Daily Guideposts books. Over recent years I have purchased, usually for less than a dollar each, used copies of nearly every copy from 1977 to 2008. In 2009 I was able to find 1986, 1990 and 2008. According to a list I carry in my wallet I still seek 1987 and 2009. I've read all volumes except the three I bought in 2009. It's my intention to read a page from each of those during 2010.

I'd like to find a copy of "Sunday Reading Stories," by Leo Tolstoy. I checked the library catalog this morning. My county doesn't have it. Some of the fifty-two stories may be in his book, "Divine and Human" which is available at the nearest branch. I'll have to check that out.

I created a 60-page PDF file with the postings I made to Mr. Dickie's Blog during the last 123 days of 2009. I'm planning to use the file for my test of printing at FedEx - Kinko's. If anyone wants a copy of the file just let me know and I will attach it to an Email and send it to you.
