So the ball has dropped, the midnight kisses taken, the champagne toast given, and 2012 has begun. To my east I saw a beautiful sunrise and the snow has stayed away from our Northern Iowa residence. We have had time with family and friends, some time at the office allowed me to catch up on some (not all) outstanding items, and the Holiday Season, full of hustle, bustle, and stress has faded into the past.
All in all, a wonderful and productive few days. Life is beautiful and things are going well...
So what? (Insert sounds of screeching tires and crashing garbage cans here). What can I possibly mean by, "So what?"
Seriously?!? How in the world can I say such a thing after the near miracle of a Holiday Break filled with all of the above? How can I think such a thing?
OK, this is what I'm thinking...satisfaction is something to be appreciated. The good things of life should be recognized and enjoyed. We absolutely need to do this. Then we need to take the next step. We are blessed, rewarded, and amazed with life on a daily basis. In order to continue that enjoyment of life, we need to do our part as well.
Whether it is finding a better way to do something at work or making life a little better for someone else, it is our responsibility to move forward. Kicking back and enjoying what live has given us is a temporary state of life that we get to enjoy. Making that opportunity available to others is a constant state that enhances our own appreciation of life.
So what? So, let's go make it happen. Happy 2012!
