New Year - new starts


Over night, Mother Nature dropped the deepest snow of the season over the area. The storm began above freezing and so the trees and shrubs were covered in a thin sheet of ice that allowed the snow to pile on their branches and limbs. Like all snows this time of the year, the fluffy white flakes reminded me that winter is a time for reflection and resolution - of new starts. Most think of Spring as the time of renewal, but not for me. For me, its Winter because at the beginning of a New Year, its time to make plans for the coming seasons. And so as I sit and wait out the fallen snow, I'll be making my plans for the coming year and season as I dream about my future.
May you each have a blessed New Year and prosper in all that you do.
