SAYING GOOD-BYE TO 2003

December 29, 2004

It was a fast-paced year for me. Where did it go? What did it mean? What was accomplised that might matter a couple of years down the road: maybe three months later?

Minds and hearts. There are some people who have entered my soul and carved out a place of permanentcy. Modern day scientific techniques can’t erase the neurons (as they do in Ben’s newest movie, Paycheck). And, they’re all good.

And right there at the top will be the renewed honor for those who serve in the military. From the dropping of the first bombs on Baghdad to the latest service man or woman to come home in a body bag, I salute the brave men and women and their families who serve and die for principles we hold dear.

Unfortunately fewer people hold those principles as close or as tightly as I do, and therein lies the seeds for destruction of freedoms we now take for granted.

So, as I say goodbye to 2003 today and tonight with some close friends, I’ll remember this year not so much about how much money I made or lost, how many ‘things’ were accomplished or not, or how much progress I made on my career-path; but, how my soul has been refreshed. I am more alive because of the people in my life.
