Winter 2010 Edition

Dear friends, colleagues and neighbors,

This time of year sees many of us setting worthy goals for ourselves: eat less, exercise more, read more books, volunteer our time, double our advertising budgets and spend more on Our Towne Saratoga…

Okay, okay….so I’m getting carried away here…..

There’s just something so fresh, so clean and so “together”about the New Year; I can’t help but dream BIG in spite of all the “doom and gloom” we seem to hear about in the news lately…Think about it: we have so much to look forward to in the coming year, so many exciting things happening, so much to choose from, so much to be a part of…is the glass really half empty or is it really truly half full? Is the change in our economy and how it may be effecting us really such a bad thing or a great opportunity to reach out and live our lives in a way we just haven’t tried yet?

So, perhaps this should be our shared community resolution for the new year – that we will work a little harder on doing it differently because we can. At least, we promise to think about it…

Failing that, well, we can always eat less and exercise more,right?

Warmest and heartfelt wishes for an astounding New Year!
