Happy New Year

There's nothing quite like the start of a new year to get me moving. I absolutely LOVE IT. I write down goals, I make lists, I organize my office, I come up with new ideas, I plan, I pray, I think, more than any other time of year. The future never looks so bright to me as Jan 1st. Now that I've written that, I do believe I'm going to resolve to make every day like New Years Day. I'm going to make the most of every year, month, week, day, hour, minute, and second. Every person on this planet lives their lives according to the same measurement of time. We're all equal in that respect. "Nobody's rich, nobody's poor, we get 24 hours, nothing more." If you're a billionaire, or a bum, you have the same clock ticking against you. Some people don't seem to notice the clock at all, while others seem obsessed by it. Some plan every minute of their lives, while others plan nothing, and both people look at the other like they're absolutely mad. Balance, as in many areas of life, is what's important to me. You do have to respect father time and the infernal ticking clock; but you also can't let your watch and your predetermined plan ruin your sense of fun and spontanaiety. OK Enough words of wisdom for one day. I really must be going, don't want to be late for my next appointment. One step at a time! Stairman
