A CHANCE TO INHALE, PAUSE,  RETHINK, REFRESH AND REKINDLE YOUR CREATIVE POWER AND START ANEW...

TIME TO TRIM BACK; JETTISON THE BITS THAT BUG YOU FROM THE LAST YEAR, RE-CALIBRATE, SHED YOUR CARES, GATHER YOUR STICKS AND GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW.  PLUNGE INTO THAT ICY HIGH SIERRA LAKE (OR SOME EQUIVALENT) AND COME OUT SHIVERING, ELECTRIFIED AND REFURBISHED, AND PLOW FORTHRIGHTLY INTO THAT NEW AND SHINY YEAR THAT HOLDS SO MUCH PROMISE!
