It's a new year and time for the new year resolutions. Many people make them. Most break them. I heard a gentleman make some that would be very easy to keep. I would join in that effort, but I made a resolution a long time ago not to make any resolutions. I thought I would share his to inspire you. He resolved not to write a novel. He resolved not to climb Mt Everest. He resolved not to run a marathon. Good luck with the changes you resolve not to make. Happy New Year.

again, bright, champagne, fact, fireworks, kiss, new year, people, shiny
It is a new year. Again. Didn't we just get a new year? In fact we have been getting a new year for as long as I can remember. It is always the same. We get a new year, all shiny and bright. Champagne bottles pop. Fireworks explode. People kiss. We are all excited. Then, around April, the newness fades a little. As time moves on the year looks used. And after a while we are ready for a new one. I say, let us treat this year better than than the others. If we are careful, maybe this year will last a little longer than the last. Happy New Year!

New Year
I often thought why do we start a new year in the middle of winter. It makes more sense to start the new year around the beginning of spring. Spring is a new start. There are births and new growth from old growth. Everything seems fresh and new. Then I found out. We used to start the new year in the spring. Someone at sometime decided they wanted the new year to begin in January. It seems stupid to me and it seemed stupid to a lot of people. A lot of people kept celebrating the new year in the spring. This was not liked. Someone wanted to put a stop to this. So someone came up with a plan. They started calling the spring celebrators, April fools. That's right. The new year used to start on April 1st. Happy New Year!!!!
