Where has the time gone?

It seems like just yesterday we were checking attics and basements for that special box of Christmas ornaments, or prowling crowded stores for unique gifts for a special someone. Since then we’ve had innumerable parties, watched hundreds of hours of sports, and attended hundreds (OK, maybe dozens) of family get-togethers. After celebrating the most special of births we watched a crystal ball disappear into a sea of humanity. Now what, you ask?

Specifically, the “what” is a new year. This new beginning is a chance to renew commitments and chart new paths. Customarily it is the start of resolutions, some of which result in life-long change. Think of the New Year as your personal blank canvas. On it you are free to place any object, interest or activity. The possibilities are endless. Enjoy the adventure!
