Year-End Meandering

2010 will soon be a memory...or memories. As we sit here all cozy in our Highbanks nest on this New Year's Eve, we are watching a special on John Wooden, a man who graced this fine planet for close to 100 years. One rule that his father gave him as a young man was to "make each day your masterpiece". What a lovely thought. Upon waking each morning, rather than wondering what will be faced as a reaction to the world, we would awaken with a pro-active presence of mind of what we can do, be, or say to create a masterpiece of a day not only for ourselves, but for others as well.

Thinking back over the year, there are certainly more masterpieces that could've been created...perhaps 2011 will be the year of our best masterpieces. Happy New Year's Eve!
