Fresh Starts

Ah, don’t you love the smell of a new year? Crisp, clean – full of starch.

Or maybe not. Maybe that’s freshly laundered clothing. Comes in all sizes, shapes and styles. So- it IS like a new year after all! Actually, for many of my colleagues still in California, 2006 started off pretty soggy – like a really really long rinse cycle. Our video production partner found the studio under water and had to scramble to rescue equipment. Glad to report the operation was a success.
Gee. Sort of a continuation of last year’s sad themes: water and destruction.
Here outside of Atlanta it was also wet, but charged with lightening and tornado warnings. Nothing, fortunately, happened. Good day to watch the delayed football bowls.
So what’s this rambling all about? Just thinking about how things may change, but really they stay the same. Like the new year predictions every year. “Business will get better…More hiring in the first quarter…the war in Iraq will be over…” All of those are messages of hope. And wishful thinking. Now it’s time to put the thoughts into action.
I’m going to put the laundry in the dryer – so it can be ready to wear.
