This week, explore your options but delay decisions

Amidst the confusion, the change and the uncertainty there are a lot of options. One option is to see things from a pessimistic perspective. That nothing can be as good as it once was. It can be easy to fall into the trap of romanticizing the past. Was it actually that good or is it simply a case of preferring the familiar rather than the new?

For other people, the change and uncertainty is welcomed. They can see past the present discomfort and seek out opportunities and potential. More often than not, these types of people are more hopeful and optimistic. They know change is inevitable, so they welcome it rather than fear it.

You may have days where you prefer the past, the good ol’ days. Then you may have days where you think “Anything has got to be better than this!”

While this week may not be ideal for making any decisions, it’s definitely worth exploring your options and look at all possibilities.

A dramatic Full Moon began the week, Monday. Regardless of whether you see the glass half full, half empty or even refillable or a combination of all. The glass itself may not be what you think it is. So be careful about how, where and why you’re hedging your bets.

A boxelder for Terry

My friend Terry Gulick, who passed away earlier this year, used to tease me about my favorite yard tree. Terry did a lot of gardening jobs when he wasn’t mentoring kids, and he was amused and a little offended by what I’d allowed to grow up in my former vegetable patch. It was bad enough…

What Killington was like in 1965

November 20, 2024
Killington was in the town of Sherburne in 1965. I remember going to the Sherburne Town Meeting in March of 1966. The ski area shut down until noon as the men all attended the morning portion of the meeting. It was mainly devoted to the highway department. A lengthy debate occurred about whether the town…
