Thanks

Even with all the damp, bone chilling, windy weather of late, I was surprised when I stepped out onto South Trade Street today. The wind had stilled, the sun was shining, and I stopped trying to pull my heavy jacket on to bask in the warm light.

This time of year things can get out of hand. Everyone gets tied in knots with too many things to do. It’s worse than October and April when every local festival and celebration has to take place.

But it’s those little times when the sun hits your face and makes you stop for minute or two that can snap me back into something like my right mind. Thankfulness, satisfaction, appreciation, etc. Those are the basic things that keep an uptown manager type from getting down or losing hope. Oh yes, the task is big, and some days it will be scary, but we will make some progress.

I’m hoping those sunny moments keep hitting me up the side of the head.
