Recapture the “Inaugural” Feeling

Kudos to Gov. Andrew Cuomo for his low-key inauguration and immediately getting down to business Jan. 1, his first official day in office. Budget shortfalls abound, and it’s time for us all to take a back to basics approach.

On my end, I’m taking serious stock of wants vs. needs and trying to downsize on many fronts. While there’s no need to sink into a gloom and doom mentality, most economic pundits agree there will be a few more years of belt-tightening before we see a rebound in US jobs, profitability and financial stability.

I took a moment to reflect on that wonderful day nearly two years ago when President Barack Obama was sworn in as the 45th leader of the free world. While time moves swiftly and a great deal has been achieved, we can’t let the cold air of winter ease any of us into periods of hibernation. The trick is to step lively and always ask, “What’s next?” To see what’s next on the US agenda:
