It's a New Year. I like the concept of a new year. I don't normally do New Year's resolutions but I try to "resolve" to be better, do better, and work harder. I made a list of goals years ago that I'm still trying to work on. Life is, basically, a work in progress, and who knows what the final outcome will be.
We found ourselves driving the lonely 1-70 in Kansas last night. As midnight approached Central Time we were fueling at the Petro Truck Stop in Salina, KS. There were very few cars on the road. Almost no trucks. It was quiet. In the store there was the clerk and someone cleaning. Midnight struck. No fanfare, no fireworks, no tooting of horns.
Larry came out with a bag of chips and some chip dip, and we scarfed them down, thinking about our blessings, and how 2011 on a personal basis wasn't a bad year. When you think about the chaos of the world, and the drama of our job, it's nice to think that when you scope it down to the minute particles of your life, that there is some saneness and a lot of blessings
So here's a goodbye to 2011 and a hello to 2012 and let the fun begin.
