Spring Around the Corner…

Posted on 08. Mar, 2009 by admin in Flying, For Students, New Media

It has been a long, cold winter. Of course, I live in metro Boston, so it goes with the territory. But yesterday, the mercury crept up to 61-degrees and I went flying, reminding me that there IS light at the end of the tunnel.  (Thanks are  in order to my business partner, who has a beautiful Citabria – a joy to fly.) It seems as if we’ve been plodding along in winter, tending our businesses, clinging to our jobs, making ends meet or not and, trying to make sense of the economy, with hope in a new political administration that seems now to be just a new political administration.  But now, as we move our clocks forward, the days are longer and the sunshine is brighter.  The momentum is building, as corny as that might sound.  The winter brought us one inspiring story of flight – that is of Captain Sully and the entire crew on Flight 1549 – grace and steadiness in the face of great obtacles.  That story seems to take on a meaning – a memory of its own if you can see it.  Another memory I always have had since I was 16 yrs old when I began flying, came from my Dad who unfortunately isn’t here to read this…and that is ‘never waste a day.’  He lived each day as a doctor (surgeon) trying to make it better for someone.  And I think he was right, one person at a time.  I apologize that there’s no New Media message in this post, but sometimes other thoughts prevail for a reason.
