Happy New Year

For many this is a special day of the year.

It is a day when some are nursing the effects of a hangover.

On a more positive note, it is a time when many evaluate what happened in the last year. We are thankful for the abundance we have and put some of the bad moments behind us.

We also make a fresh start on the new year. Often these take the form of resolutions. We promise that we are going to do this or that. We look forward to what lies ahead.

Aside from realizing that I don’t have any 2008 calendars in my house at the moment, what really is so special about today? Why can’t I celebrate in the same way in May?

Can I not be thankful every day for the abundance I have?

Can I not put bad moments behind me every day?

Can I not make a fresh start every day the same way I do on January 1?

Can I not anticipate the joy of this day and what lies ahead tomorrow?

Yes, I wish everyone a happy new year. May it be filled with 365 New Year’s Days (except for those with hangovers)!
