It’s time to say goodbye to 2009 and hello to 2010. Today signals the time for a fresh start, a time to charter a new path. Many of us will soon set new goals and make plans to enrich our lives in the New Year. I find the following quote from Benjamin Franklin to be an inspiration for me as I think of my own resolutions: “Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.”

On behalf of the Out of Office Blog Team, I wish you all a happy New Year and the best of luck with your resolutions. Also, be sure to visit our blog frequently over the next couple of weeks as we will publish a series of project ideas that can help as you strive to keep your New Year’s resolutions.
