I could hear Gene Wilder recently, over the din of our household, singing the following invitation: “Come with me, and you’ll see into a world of pure imagination….” I thought about when the last time I used my imagination…(now, that was an inadvertent suggestion for you to answer that same question, namely, when is the last time you used your imagination? I’ll give you some time to ponder while I change paragraphs….)

I don’t use my imagination often enough. Remember being a child and playing
pretend? Did you have any remembrances of those moments watching
Andy play with The Evil Dr. Pork Chop in Toy Story 3? Were you happy then, in the midst of pretend play, creating the world around you? What keeps you from doing so now?

In 2011, I challenge you (& me) to take more time to create, to imagine, and to live in happiness…I will if you will. Can I count on you?
