It seems sometimes as if the world moves too quickly. The next year is upon us at last, and many will be happy to see the end of 2008, looking towards 2009 as the opportunity to start anew. I celebrate the new year at the equinox - when Spring returns life to the lands and new possibilities are rampent. But I will celebrate with the calendrical world as well, because starting anew with new goals and possibilities is always a good thing. So, here's a picture of fireworks - because I love their transient, colorful bursts of light against a darkling sky. Smile and enjoy the beauty.
And, the new year also bespeaks the mundane - inventory and taxes (ICKY). We will be starting our annual year-end inventory soon. Now, in a store that carries more than 25,000 individual items, many of which are large quantities broken down into much smaller quantities, inventory could be daunting. However, we actually do physical counts of inventory year-round, so we don't need to spend the next two weeks counting every earwire. But, it's not the most entertaining activity that we do, and we will all be glad when I have enough data to allow the spot checks to end for my year-end numbers.
Tonight - whenever your New Year arrives, please join me in a prayer to the Creator for a softening in the hearts of mankind and the arrival of true peace in our lives. Peace means that people must bend a bit to see the viewpoint of others and the commonality of those views. As long as people are ruled by dogma, true peace will not be achievable. Please bend and see the viewpoint of others to bring peace into your own lives this coming year.
PEACE, LOVE, HARMONY - From our voices to the Creator's ear
