I love New Year's Day. It is that blank piece of paper before you write or that first day of school or that hiring interview. Hopeful and full of possibilities. My resolutions are in place and I have not broken any of them yet. Off to a fantastic start.
I understand it is just another day and that I could wake up every single day with this attitude, starting anew and full of potential. The issues still remain. For people with health issues, they don't become better on the 1st and those with financial worries don't suddenly see $0 credit balances. But we can choose to to put that stake in the ground today and say I will do all I can.
We will err and basically screw up. So expect it but don't dwell on it. Pick a friend that you will plan to call when you fall. She/he will help you forgive yourself and encourage you to go on. Or maybe just laugh with you so you feel better. Maybe even refer back to this blog to help you remember those hopeful feelings on New Year's Day.
Call me conventional, but I think there is something more stimulating and encouraging about a new year. Almost like being pushed... no guided, into a fresh new world. You don't even have to think about picking a time and day to improve. Here it is. Brand new.
Happy 2010!
