All I have to say is Happy Columbus Day! Unfortunately, I do not have the day off to celebrate Christopher and all his discoveries. But at least he's the center of one of my favorite places in NYC - Columbus Circle. (It's beautiful to look down at the statue in the middle of the fountains (yes, Mr. Columbus is at the top) and look down Central Park South toward 5th Ave. I also love sitting at the base of the statue and watch all the people that make it an ever-interesting sight. I love New York, and especially in the Fall!)

While at BYU, one of my friends really, really, really loved Columbus Day, and we even had a big ole party to celebrate. But the thing that she was so inspired by was to reflect on our new discoveries, and that has stayed with me over the years. My new discovery (one of them): the farmer's market that is just a block away from my office. It has such amazing deals on fresh fruits and veggies, and gives me a good break during lunch!
Take a moment to look around and examine what new things you have learned or done this year, and make a goal to keep it up over the next year.
