In a car with a manual transmission, the purpose of the clutch is to help ensure that the gears, which are traveling at different speeds, can mesh together seamlessly as you shift from one gear to another. By depressing the clutch pedal, the gears enter a zone where they are brought together without clashing.

A good book not only brings a new world to you, it brings you into a new world. It allows you to see and to experience things that never actually happen to you, and to learn from events that take place only in the realm of imagination.
How have you been changed by a book?
Welcome to a bright, shiny new year! As with a baby, a new year is full of potential, but you really have no idea of just what you might get. All you can do is offer your whole-hearted love, your very best wishes, and your commitment to doing whatever you can toward shaping what you hope for.

The New Year is traditionally pictured as a baby, a fresh new being of unlimited potential. Why not clasp that bundle of possibilities to your heart with joy? The year will bring what it brings. Might as well kiss this moment of transition on its chubby cheeks.
How will you welcome the New Year with love?

What about your appearance surprises you as you’ve aged?
