We now have weather to talk about. Enough of that rain and warmth — snow squalls, whiteouts, closed roads — oh yes, January is here. Annual meetings have been scheduled, the time to look back at the activities of the group, and to have a good check on what really happened. Perhaps the real reason for this review is to set the agenda for future, to look ahead, to dream of the future to hear new thoughts and to set the work for the next year. Fractures are always a surprise, sometimes expected after certain activities and more often a spontaneous event. Sandra Machan and Neil Schade are living with fractures at this moment and now know that January is not the ideal time to easily get on with life. Good healing you two. Lots of our people have hit the southern climates as they deal with the winter months. Others celebrate the whiteness and have plans for the days that are not really for social life. Books, movies, visits, closets are often on the to-do list for January and February. Looking forward is a much healthier way of dealing with life than checking on the history. The past is gone, the future is not here, so deal well with the present and treat it as just that, a present to enjoy to the fullest. Enjoy the quiet days of January. Bye now, Betty G.W.
