While it has been said (I’m sure by someone somewhere) that this Thursday is just another day, very few of us can mentally escape its significance and the opportunity to reflect. What can become better? What can be forgotten? What can be forgotten better?

I have mentioned that Change’s biggest gift may be in the re-thinking it causes. Just as imposed change brings re-thinking, re-thinking can bring change. We just reverse order.

So go re-think something. Make the world a better place; even if it’s just in your head and only for a moment. You see, there are Moments that become real big real quick and you never know which one it will be or when it will be there. You can improve your chances of ‘real big real quick’ logarithmically by giving yourself moments.

It IS hard in the hustle bustle of each of the other 51 Thursdays. So there is a pleasant convenience in a holiday being centered around Moment creation. Sort of forced upon us like a door held opened for you on a rainy windy day while you hurry towards it unaware. You don’t stop to converse about why he’s holding it or any other trivial pursuit. You don’t analyze it. You just walk through with a ‘thanks’. Happy for the convenience provided. New Years is convenience provided.

Here’s to meaningful moments, some Happy in the New Year.
