Well, you’ve done it again. You’ve wasted another year following FAB’s feckless blog posts. On the plus side, you made it through another year, and you still have a computer and access to electricity .

May the happinesses of the coming year be as effervescent and manifold as the bubbles in your glass and may all your expectations for the new year come true in ways beyond your wildest imagination.

Just the one, migrate the office somewhere less scenic to people stop staring out the windows, and fallingoff the porch breaking femurs, when they really ought be working!

Should be a rather simple affair. All we need is a couple of yaks and some stocky interns.

Climb every mountain . . . .

Far Away Books — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:02:22 +0000

There are many holiday movies, and depending on where you are in life, each year a different film might appeal. This year, we were sitting around Christmas Eve when The Sound of Music came on.

It’s filled with wonderful songs, but this year, the one that really struck a chord (pun intended) was Climb Every Mountain.

Climb every mountain,
Search high and low,
Follow every highway,
Every path you know.

Climb every mountain,
Ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow,
‘Till you find your dream.

The sad truth is, many of us are told to work hard to achieve our dream. But few people stop to mention there are worthy dreams and unworthy ones. What is a dream worth pursuing? It’s not something we can accomplish, such as fame or wealth, it’s something that

. . . will need
All the love you can give,
Every day of your life
For as long as you live!

Here’s hoping in 2012, you find your dream, and spend the rest of your life giving it all the love you can give.

This is boxing day, so get out those boxes and fill them up

This is Boxing Day, so if you’ve a day off today, think about boxing up those clothes you don’t wear, that canned food you didn’t eat, those gifts you’ll never use, and pass them on.

Changing lanes. In case you didn’t know, it requires space.

Far Away Books — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 09:02:23 +0000

During the holidays it’s easy to fall into old patterns, drive down familiar roads and . . . get stuck.

So today we thought we’d remind you of one of life’s road rules, if you want to change lanes (or let someone else do so), you need to allow space. Don’t get stuck in your own mental gridlock this year.

Lighten up, space out, and let yourself (and those you thought you knew) change.
