Happy New Year







It's the first day of a new year. Perhaps yours is made of black eyed peas, parades, and football games. Or maybe it consists of writing down lists of resolutions, then balling up the paper, and tossing it to the cat to play with. Maybe your day has been one long nap.

Our words represent not only ourselves, but also every entity, organization, and value we stand for. Our words have the power to heal and hurt, persuade and thwart, comfort and condemn. 

Heed the words of Beckett, choose your words carefully, and wear them well. We each have a new year to dress up and write upon.
