Thoughts from your host…
Yesterday, I started work at 7am, and instead of a pitch black winter morning the sky was already a cerulean shade of blue. When I sat down to write this at 6pm, the sun was just vanishing beyond the downtown skyline.
Winter is ending.
In just a few short weeks, it will be spring and new life will be in the air. Around that same time, the Oscars will come and go and we will finally be fully embracing a new year of film.
Why do we care? Why am I writing about it? Good questions.
I mention it here because I know that life can sometimes feel like it’s stuck in place. Maybe the job is overwhelming, or the job hunt is going nowhere. Maybe it’s the doomscrolling and wondering when the fires that are burning around the world will finally start to douse. Maybe it’s a smaller uncertainty in life, like wondering when they will finally pick up the phone and text you.
But sure as dark dreary winter leads to a balmy spring, change comes to all things. It’s encouraging; it fosters hope. And as the classic film once said “Hope is a good thing – maybe the best of things – and no good thing ever dies”
Bring on the thaw.
