As we near year-end, it’s natural to dream of what we’d like to experience in the New Year. This has been a harsh year in many ways…Politics, weather, economic setbacks, government incompetence and the Dallas Cowboys are all examples of existential challenges.

From a Morning Jaunt in Plaza Santa Fe…
I love this Santa Fe rooftop metaphor, have used it on many occasions, none more important than this campaign season. We’re worn out, have lost faith in government, many institutions and even our friend in the mirror. We know we can and must do better.

I try to act and live like it.

We’ve got work to do, but we can heed the many reflective observers who have gone before. Here are their suggestions to prompt our effective and thoughtful response. Thanks for joining me.

Wow! It happens so fast. We’re young. They’re not here, until they are. Then, they’re here and growing, and we wish WE could stop the aging process. But, we can’t. We try to make the most of it. My son is past his 5th decade and I’m reeling with a roller-coaster of emotions. Most of you can empathize. Join me. Reflect. Enjoy…

Our communities need our best selves, and resolutions such as these can improve our odds for success. Come join me and consider your possibilities.
Wishing you and yours a Happy and Productive New Year!
