For me, today was a day to buckle down and get some things done at work. I had a handful of important things to do, and I arrived at work a little concerned that I wouldn't be able to complete them, but I tackled them one at a time, and stuck with each one until it was finished. I had a few unexpected things come up, but not enough to knock me off course.
Perhaps it's partly that the end of January is approaching, and there has been enough time for the holiday chaos to recede into the past. Recent posts from daughter Tanya in France and daughter-in-law Nicole in Pittsburgh indicate that I'm not alone in having a spurt of winter productivity.
OK, the Jupiter reference is just an attempt to cleverly draw in a completely unrelated topic. When I left work today, the sun was setting with a pretty red orange winter glow. The sky was darkening, but still blue, too bright to reveal any stars, but not too bright to mask Jupiter's light. I enjoyed seeing the small pixel of light against the backdrop that had just the right glow to mask the stars but let Jupiter shine through. I knew that when I came out again a few hours later, I would see Orion just to the right of Jupiter, both bright against the cold, black night sky.
