The sound was unmistakable. We lost our enthusiasm for our adventure as we saw the glass fly. I pulled into a parking spot, feeling stupid. How could I have not seen the glass in the parking lot? I crossed my fingers as I opened my door to check my tires. I didn’t even have to get out of the car. As soon as the car door opened, I heard a loud his-s-s-s-s.

I am not big on New Year’s resolutions. At the end of last year, however, I had a couple of things on my list of things to work on in 2006. Today, I looked back to see if I had accomplished what I had “resolved” to change in 2006.

There were people all over the trails as I ran out towards the farm. The looks and smiles that people were giving me indicated an acknowledgement of my peace and happiness to be out there. I guess they were feeling the joy too.
