Do you feel it?

Maybe it's just that it's 50s and 60s now after a classic long 1970s New England winter or that business has doubled and have two great techs now or that everyone I know is happy and hopeful, but there's a very real change in the air. Feels great! Hope it does for you too! I think it's going to be an epic year.

2021 has sucked worse than 2020 so far.

And that is not a political comment at all.

I have hope for my own personal life, and family, but dread for the life of this country, and the direction it is now headed !

He's got the tingle up the leg like Chris Mathews.

Not really optimistic for long term. Short term will probably be ok, lots of money in the system now.

My outdoor thermometer says it's 89* right now.
Yes, I'm feeling it. Almost every one working at Smart & Final said 'Hi' as we walked thru the store today.
I'd say pictures or it didn't happen, Shaun, but know that you haven't had time to figure out your camera yet. Maybe now that you've got some good helpers you'll find time.

It's been warming up here in N GA, things are blooming, and the pine tree pollen is at a high.

Thursday and Friday night - we have freeze warnings! We've got to cover the blueberry and other plants to protect the buds.

2 months and I'll be able to learn how to use it my friend!

if you aren't having a great year so far, it will come. It will definitely come.

Lucky for me! Work doesn't determine if I have a great year or not. 2021 will probably go down as the worst year I've ever had in business. Can't buy inventory to sell.

I've been out walking in my woods and enjoying everything that nature has to offer. Been keeping busy with projects around the house. Enjoying extra time with my kids.

Weather is improving, so that is an improvement which is taking place. Happening now. And very much welcome.

Pandemic relief feels more than hope than joy. I am encouraged and hopeful, but that change is not happening now. At least, not in my mind. Yet. Hoping for a bright morning after a Dark Night of the Soul.

I want to go to a restaurant and order from a menu.
