If you're looking for a blank slate, there is no better place than the beach.
And today, the day after Labor Day, we also have a blank slate. A new year of school for Celia, a return to work for me.
Resolutions? I'm taking my long-distance beach vision to the office. It will help me see what's important and what's not. When a deadline looms or an email goes unanswered, I'll remember the scene above. I'll take a deep breath, lift my eyes up from the screen and stare out the window. This is what I'll see.
