Editor’s Note
by Debra Crosby
It’s Spring and all our thoughts are turning to things
like baseball, planting gardens and how the heck we’re
ever going to fit into our bathing suits. I have personally
given them up, but that’s a different story. Even though
our country is embroiled in a war in a faraway place, we can
still look to Spring as a time of hope and renewal. Every
day, I try to find at least one small thing that gives me
joy or at least is worth getting out of bed for. That way,
even if the day is rotten for the most part, at least I can
say it wasn’t a total waste. We can do the same with
our lives. Find at least one thing that feeds your soul, makes
you smile, makes you feel good about yourself, and nurture
that activity. Make it a part of your life even if you only
get to do it once a week or once a month. At the end of our
all-too-brief existences, if we can say that we at least felt
good about how we spent our precious time, then our lives
will have been worth something.
Now I must turn to the one thing that gives me joy as well
as splitting headaches. This magazine. I have gathered a variety
of articles for this issue and I hope that each of you finds
at least one that educates or informs you. Then my efforts
will not have been in vain. This is always my primary concern
– the interests of our readers.
I must therefore ask all of you a favor in that regard.
Please let me hear from you regarding articles or topics you’d
like to see in the TPJ. I am always looking around, gathering
articles, but I am only guessing at what interests you. But
if I err in that regard, then is only partly my fault. If
this magazine is not what you want or need for it to be, then
it is your responsibility to let me know. I toil, sweat blood,
lose sleep, pull my hair out, all for you, our readers. Please
don’t let me feel alone out there. Let me hear from
you. (Just kidding about the sweating blood part – I
just sweat and cry a little.)
Also, make sure you visit our newly renovated web site at
www.txpd.org.
It’s got some great new features and although
parts of it are still being worked on, it’s ready for
visitors. Let us know how you like it and if you have
any suggestions. If you haven’t filled out the
survey by the Joint Task Force, please do so as well. We need
your input.
Have a good Spring. Enjoy the nice weather and your life
as well!
