New Year

Despite the cold, I enjoy this time of year. Days are lengthening, even if slowly. There is a sense of revival and new beginnings to life.

I make no resolutions, although I like to re-examine what I want in my life. For me, this requires a thoughtful approach to my choices and opportunities. Without a commitment to considering what it is you want, you will continue to ride the wave of fate. Fate may or may not be kind, but the point is you will not be moving toward your conscious choices. You will simply be responding to events around you.

I spent some time this morning revising my fundamental and primary choices. It's a work in progress, but simply making adjustments based on what I have achieved and new emerging goals has me feeling optimistic.

Happy New Year

Cold - Very cold

It's bitterly cold here in the northeastern US. Temperatures have been hovering at and below zero for multiple days and there's no sign of relief in the near future. If you must venture out, bundle up and make it quick.

Cold weather is far more dangerous than hot weather to humans. More people die from exposure to cold than to heat. Intuitively, this makes sense. On the hottest day (say 100 degrees or so), the temperature is essentially 15 degrees above comfort level. On the coldest day (we had temps of -8 degrees the other morning), we were 93 degrees below that same comfort temp. Brrrrr.

Stay warm.
