Anticipation
Publisher Derrick Breaux
Do you remember how exited you were to open presents as a child? The buildup… The anticipation… Wondering what was in that beautifully wrapped gift. When we were kids, there was a special magic that was in the air when it came to the holiday season and our own birthdays. We all wanted to open our gifts so bad – we could hardly take it. The thought of having to wait until after dinner devastated us. As a child, we simply didn’t think we’d survive if we had to wait. I look at the start of a new year in much the same way. It brings back the kid in me to wonder what’s in store for the next 365 days. As we grow older and reflect on our past, many times we categorize our life in years (decades for those of us that have more years under our belts). We often reminisce about certain years of our lives – some we hold high and close to our hearts while other years prove to challenge us in ways that we may prefer to put behind. The permanent memory of some years are a given – the year that you graduated, the year that you bought your first house, the year that you got married, or the year that you moved to San Diego are all fine examples. For me, there are a few years that stand out above the rest. More specifically, 1999 and 2001 are two top years in my life that I must confess having a difficult time ranking 1st or 2nd. I met my wife in 1999 and we got married in 2001. It’s tough to decide which year I hold closer in my heart – they were both great! I suppose it’s a tie. Other years that highly impacted my life were the years my children were born, the year that we moved our family to 4S Ranch, years that distinct milestones were accomplished professionally, and the year that we started 92127 Magazine (the first of the nine ZCode Magazine titles). Even though we are already a month into 2013, I feel like a little kid wondering how the gift of this new year will ultimately end up ranking in our overall life story. What is in the box? Will we look back at 2013 with special memories? Does 2013 have great things in store for my family, my close friends, my colleagues? While children don’t always appreciate the time spent during dinner while waiting to open their gifts, as an adult I’ve grown to appreciate each of the days that it takes to make each year one to remember.
Happy New Year. May 2013 be a year that you hold close to your heart! Derrick Breaux, Publisher
