The Best Is Yet To Come!

 
After taking a hiatus from blogging since 2008, I have decided to put finger to keyboard and begin again. The events of 2012 led me to ponder many important issues effecting not only our nation but the entire world. Listening to talking heads on radio and TV; frustration grows inside of me due to the lack of serious discussion in regards to any real answers. To that end, I plan to bring forth and provoke ideas and issues for the world to ponder. I am sure many will agree with me, many will disagree, and many will just get angry. My hope is to stimulate thought and encourage discussion in ways that will advance the common good.

2012 left us with fear and dread. Innocent people killed by mad gunmen; the country falling off a “fiscal cliff”; continued high unemployment, increased debt, and plunging house values; not to mention global unrest in the Middle East and North Korea. 24/7 news coverage, internet, Wi-Fi, cloud computing, social networking and cell phones constantly invade our peace and trumpet the latest crises. Everyone wants a quick solution to the newest tragedy without considering unintended consequences. Super storms, drought, wild fires, and floods added to the anxiety and speculation of cause and effect.

2012 is behind us and it is time to look forward to 2013. 2013 has the potential to be the best year yet. We are a resilient people who understand we have nothing to fear but fear itself. Join me as we together ponder the way to our collective future and how to process our past in order to learn from it.

After a year like 2012 I am willing to put forth a great effort to make 2013 a great year. I, like so many people, have learned a great deal this year. I learned things not only about my country, my state, and my community. I have learned things about myself also. I intend to use this new found knowledge to make the world around me a better place.
