Extremes. My best and most trusted friend in the world (along with Peter Bryenton), economist Tom Hatcher, always says about averages something like "yea, you can have your head in the oven and your feet in the freezer and what's your average temperature?" Don't, dear reader, believe in the concept of averages. It's like settling for mediocrity. Challenge yourself to appreciate extremes - and savoring difference - and your life will be richer for it.
Today's pictures celebrate extremes. It's April 4th - spring - but that doesn't prevent nature from sharing some aspects of a couple of seasons on the same day. The day dawned mild and wet. The end, however, brought snow to the mountaintops, as can be seen in the lower photo, taken at 7:50 tonight.
Life with MG is about extremes, too. Some days are very good, others are very bad. But, just like an economy on the upswing where the chart looks like a saw blade pointing upward: the small teeth being the secular, day-to-day trend, poised against the general upward slope of growth. In the end, the economy gets better and expands...and so do I. The bad days help me savor the good days.
