Why is Jan 1? Do we need a way to wipe the slate clean? Do we need a way to celebrate the old and look forward to the new? For the truth be told, every day is a new opportunity. But on Jan 1 the world joins together in collective new hopes and new beginnings.
We .. as people .. have a need to connect to each other. It shouldn't be a surprise that online communities are evolving as quickly as technology allows. In so many forms and forums. From micro blogs like Twitter to complex worlds like Facebook to little niches like Activerain. People are finding each other and developing friendships, learning from each other, helping each other, conducting business with each other.
New Year. New Page. New sheet of paper. Will you write on it? Will you draw on it? Will you tear it into teeny bits and make a paper sculpture? On this morning of January 1, 2008 a soft breeze blows through our doors and windows that are opened wide to possibilities. On this morning of January 1, 2008 364 more days are yours to open.
I have no brilliant New Year Predictions to tell you. I have no revealing New Year Resolutions to share with you. What I do have on this morning of January 1, 2008 is a deep appreciation of your friendships and the hope that our paths will cross in the non digital world. With a smile and a toss of a diva pink boa to you all !, I'll borrow the beautiful words from Evelyn Rodriguez's twit this morning ...
May winsome joy greet you at the threshold of 2008.
