Weak week

I have never been able to wrap my brain around the week between Christmas and New Years. It just feels like a wasted week. Nothing really gets done unless you are in retail. (And if you are in retail, I send you condolences.)

This is the week of changes. Longer days, back-to-back holidays, and the beginning of a New Year make this the week of transition, the week where we all readjust to things.

‘Year in review’ articles in the papers and TV remind us that we are beginning something. Resolutions personalize the New Year, encouraging us to leave bad habits in the past year and cultivate new and better ones.

In short, this week is where we leave things behind us and begin again.

We embrace optimism and a more positive attitude. We throw off the cobwebs of winter and start looking at spring and summer in our hearts.

I hope that 2006 far outshines your expectations.
