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. We’re being called to rise to many occasions. Let’s Dream, Reflect, ACT!

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.

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.

EASTER CUTENESS OVERLOAD…
Life’s Roller Coaster!… Easter! April 1st! Youthful celebration! Senior demise. Our inevitable life cycle. We can choose to delay and deflect, but only for so long. Life is short, unfair…but well worth the living. Our children amuse and inspire us. Our seniors validate the extended effort. We’re the products of those best efforts. We’ve got choices. Let’s strive to choose wisely…
