... in 2004.

Every New Year is a new beginning, alive with new potential, which is why we wish one another a "Happy New Year".

How we begin anything effects the outcome. "Visualization" is a standard tool used by athletic coaches all over the world nowadays.

Tiger Woods visualizes where the ball will drop before he strikes the ball.

Where do we want to go in 2004?

How high is high?

Time to soar, in 2004.

Happy New Year!

This may not really be the best of all possible worlds,
but I think that it has been getting better steadily,
and is likely to continue to do so. Despite the evils
that still exist.

In considering the exterior world and the interior, may we live in the exterior well enough that we can soberly face the interior.

... and may the peace we achieve in one be transmitted to the other.

Thus, one by one, each one will be one.

Thanks for that thought, Wordwind.

for many years, i openly talked, and aspired to getting a pilots licence.. i longed to fly.

then, as i approached 40, i divorced my husband, when back to school and got my undergraduate degree (and i think of going further... but) changed careers (again!) and along the way, i lost my desire to learn to fly. Not that i don't think it would be a nice idea, but i unless i will the lottery (and i almost never buy tickets!) or some rich person takes pity on me, and gives me millions of dollars (and i am not a pitifull creature, so that unlikely!) i doubt i will ever invest the time and money required to learn to fly.

but since my divorce, i have had wonderful relationships, i have changed jobs and careers, i have moved (twice) and sold my house and move to a new co-op apartment-- i have traveled near (MI) and far (Japan)...

i fly.

Time to Soar in 2004

" ... the space program could soar again, they said, even with modest funding increases — if it is revitalized by bold leadership and tough political calls ..."

"We're at our best when we're given our biggest challenges," he said. "When the challenges are mediocre, when they don't call on us to reach beyond ourselves, we have a tendency to perform in a mediocre fashion."

"All of these troubles raise the question of whether the nation has the technical muscle to achieve President Bush's vision of setting up a human base on the moon and sending Americans to Mars, a plan he is expected to announce next week."
