All Roads Begin With Another

All Roads Begin With Another"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." – Seneca (Roman philosopher, mid-1st century AD)

As we embark on a new year and a new administration, I felt this quote was truly fitting for the week. Let us embark on new beginnings domestically and internationally, but let us not forget the past, both good and bad, that led us to that new beginning. Each road leads to another and with out the rocky road to travel on one would not have found themselves on the smooth pavement of the future.
