Worth Fighting For

Well, the Christmas tree is down, and the snow is falling. The kids are happy and quiet somewhere in the house, and I'm using the day to gaze out the window while finishing up some loose ends -- both personal and professional. Wherever this day finds you -- in or out of your home office -- I hope you find joy in the little Saturday tasks of life, whether it's returning emails, sending invoices, doing laundry or grocery shopping. Patrick Swayze, who reportedly has been hospitalized with pneumonia and has been fighting pancreatic cancer, has got me feeling humble and gracious on this cold, January day. He is one tough and ornery dude and an inspiration to all of us that life is worth fighting for. I wish him well.
