How are your New Year’s resolutions holding up? Did you make big plans to exercise more, go on a diet, stop smoking or drinking, spend more quality time with family, or have less screen time? Maybe you decided to not make any resolutions at all. Have you dropped off or still having great success?
Have you ever heard about having a word of the year? Some of my friends choose a word for the year. Choices for some of the words range from: adventure, gratitude, prosperity, integrity, love, and abundance. This year I decided to choose a word for the year and that being the word fun. Saying yes to even the smallest activities or things that bring about moments of happiness and fun are easy to do. No resolutions for me. Fun is easier.
The word fun also covers off a bunch of other categories mentioned above like; adventure, family and love. If you’re having fun you’re likely enjoying all these mentioned and more. Whatever your word or resolution I hope you can achieve what you are aiming for.
Perhaps the word this year for BC Tree Fruits and their members is hope. I sincerely hope they can come to an agreeable resolution, that there can be a win-win for all parties involved. It’s been difficult to stay on top of all the meetings and changes in the print magazine since often we have already gone to press. See inside this issue.
Going through some old magazines at home, I came across an industry type advertisement in a1966 issue of Maclean’s Magazine, you’ll see it inside. It has a red apple with a bite taken out of it and the headline reads, “ Every farmer wants the same tractor… the right one.” The Tractor Guide is inside this issue. You may want to purchase a new or used one this year.
Next issue, you will see the popular Buyer’s Guide. It will contain many quality suppliers and service providers that you need to keep your farm or wine operation running smoothly. These companies can offer you a lot of valuable advice. I invite you to watch for that issue and hang onto it for future purchases down the road. With so many new wineries, new owners and other ventures cropping up, it’s good to know whom you can purchase from.
In the meantime, my wish is that you have an abundant crop, prosperity, and success in your life and lots of fun in your daily activities.
Enjoy the magazine!
