Happy New Year

As I write this, I am stuck in an airport waiting for a flight that will no doubt be delayed at least two more times before I get to my final destination.  I'm surrounded by a really nice group of people who are - I'm sure - as ready to get home as I am, but we're passing the time with laughter and jokes instead.  What good does it do to whine and complain?  Planes will be delayed, bills will be overdue, lines will be long, and on and on...but at some point, don't we have to decide that we're going to be happy no matter what?  There's always going to be SOMETHING that will irritate, or annoy, or cause discomfort. There's never going to be an ideal time - NOW is the ideal time.

Smile my friends - it's almost a new year!
