It's a commonly-heard sentiment. "Let's get off to a good start." On this project. This assignment. In this game. Monday morning. Hit the ground running and all that.
The senitment grows louder, becomes more encompassing as December comes to a close and January enters with all the significance we decide to throw at it. But what does getting the New Year off to a good start mean?
Toasting the past year's successes and good times? Sure.
Reflecting on failures and disappointments? Yep.
Setting new goals? You bet.
For many of us it's all of these things. For me it's also a time to try to step away from these same things.
So I'm glad my wife grew up in the countryside.
