Roses, excellence

Once again the New Year begins with the Rose Parade. One of the regrets of our seven years in Southern California is that we never got to Pasadena on New Year's day, although we did go one year to view the floats post-parade. The detail and labor intensity of these creations is absolutely incredible!

There must be some insights in such a production. I can think of a few: Hard work and attention to detail go hand in hand and lead to quality. Vision, skill, and effort come together to create beauty. Such beauty provides inspiration and invites motivation. What insights do you draw from the Tournament of Roses Parade?

"A Cut Above the Rest," the theme for this year's parade, may serve us well in the new year, a commitment to do and be our best, and to bring out the beauty that is inherent in the tools and materials that God provides for our artistry.

Happy New Year!
