SO BEGINS THE FIRST QUARTER

And so begins the first quarter,

another year has come and gone.

Some dreams came true.

Some dreams said, “So long.”

 

And even though it is simply

the turning of a calendar’s page,

a New Year,

a first quarter,

feels like looking into a new age.

 

There is excitement, urgency, expectation.

The engines revving, waiting to take on the first turn.

 

But just before rushing headlong into the days ahead,

take time to remember what you have learned.

 

A New Year,

a first quarter

begins with

this minute,

this hour,

and what you do

Every. Single. Day.
