Welcome to Another Day in Paradise.
You will find no gloom nor doom here.
Change, progress, evolution (upheaval, chaos, crisis … depending on your viewpoint) its what’s on everybody’s mind lately…here, there and everywhere. A recent drive around Zihuatanejo bay with friends inspired a conversation about the view from the road, and how the entire landscape is changing.
Change is inevitable—it is the only constant, but that doesn’t make it any less shocking. Like the way a young child can seem to grow in the blink of an eye, it seems Zihuatanejo too, has a life of its own. And like a bewildered parent who wants only to freeze moments in time, we too struggle to accept the changes. This year more so than ever. I feel a bit like Dorothy caught in the tornado in Kansas; these past few months have been a real ride, and I for one am ready to put my feet on solid ground. But even if this wild ride isn’t over yet, aren’t you getting a little bored with the doom and gloom already?
I know I am.
They say slow economic times are when you can focus on cleaning house, getting your affairs in order, slowing down and taking stock of what’s working and not working. I think that’s always a good idea (I try to clean off my desk at least once a month!). And it is new year’s resolution time, so I recommend making a list: what do you want to accomplish this year? What do you want to see change… here, there and everywhere? Write it down, ponder it seriously,purposefully, like a real grown-up… then, go take a pleasant stroll to the beach and play.
Promise, you’ll feel more up to the challenge tomorrow.
Until next time,
just another day in paradise
