"Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over."
-- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Starting over can be as simple as finding two symbolic chairs left in a field. There's always a place to sit and catch your breath, even in the most unexpected of places, and if you'd like, you can take these chairs home with you, make them sturdy again, and rebuild your life around your own chair, and one for a visitor, or companion -- when you're ready.

Fitzgerald may never have "done" the chair metaphor, but he certainly had to start over, more than once, and for me, it always goes back to Fitzgerald. Always.
