"Vitality shows not only in the ability to persist, but in the ability to start over."

F. Scott Fitzgerald             

As 2010 comes to an end, we can find much to be disappointed about in
regard to our socio-political concerns.  Economic disparity continues to
grow, trillions of dollars continue to be wasted on wars which only bring
destruction and death, and more seeds of discrimination, repression, and
oppression continue to be planted. 

But what we don't often see, what is not media "news," is the difference we
have made in the thinking and acting of ... some human beings ... some people
... who now may make a positive difference in the lives of others in the year
to come. 

Perhaps we need to persist in some of our strategies designed to meet our
goals ... or perhaps we need to start over in some areas with new strategies.
Either way we show our vitality, and can be assured that we will have our
victories in 2011!
