“We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.” ~Edith Lovejoy Pierce

Early Morning Walks.
One of my favorite past times in a new city is too explore in the morning. January 1st, 2010 at around 8am, I am inspired.
The sun rises on my back as I head the few blocks to the Gas Lamp. This is the central downtown street. Remnants of last nights revelry is everywhere. Shiney New Years hats are squashed and scattered in trash cans and gutters. Paper streamers are dingy and wet, now stuck to the sidewalk. Footprints from the wanders last night and this morning squished in the paper.
The only folks that are out and about are the homeless.
I grab a large cup of coffee at a Chinese restaurant and wander through the streets photographing anything that grabs my interest.
I wonder what this New Year will hold.
Create Our World.

“The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.” ~G.K. Chesterton
