New Beginnings

So here we are 2010. Can you believe it? I definitely can't. 2009 seemed to be the fastest year of my life. They tell me it's a sign of me getting old, but I have a different theory. I think I let it fly by. I find myself asking, "What did I do this year?". Sadly I don't have any good answers. So with the start of the new year, and the enthusiasm it brings, I vow not to let this year be a repeat of the last.

Now I know everyone feels this way every new year but therein lies the point of this particular post. We all make our declarations, and resolutions, and goals but how many of us see them through? How many of us make them for the sake of making them? How many of us really acknowledge the reason for making them and then muster up the determination to achieve?

A new year equals a new beginning, a clean slate, a fresh start. A chance to forget past mistakes and failures. I don't think as humans we fully grasp that concept. We've been given a wonderful and free opportunity to let the clay be re-molded and find ourselves. I encourage you to wholeheartedly embrace this new year and don't worry if you falter on your course because you can start over whenever you need to. So whether you're calling this year Two Thousand and Ten or Twenty Ten, live it, love it, and make the most of it. You won't regret it!
