A Different New Years

Here is some music to listen to while reading:

Happy New Year to everybody! I am so glad you could make it! And what a wonderful New Year it is going to be! But my New Year celebration was really different for me this year. I typically do a lot of reflecting and decide how I am going to change starting on January 1st. It usually includes getting in better shape, making more money, etc. But not this time. I didn’t really do much reflecting and make plans to change. Instead, I realized how last year was my happiest year I can remember. And I owe that to learning more about myself. In the past, I never followed through with my New Year’s resolutions. But in 2006 I made resolutions throughout the year and succeeded and failed here and there. I did my best and was rewarded with a feeling of fulfillment and joy. I cried more last year than ever as an adult. But you have to dig in to the unpleasant past to work through it. I always spoke my mind instead of biting my tongue. I’ve learned that repressing my feelings does not get rid of them. I have no regrets for the entire year, or ever for that matter.

I guess I have changed the way I celebrate holidays, birthdays, etc. Why only honor people once a year? Why only honor yourself once a year? Do it every second of the year and these so called holidays and birthdays will change meanings. They seem to be made to remind people who forgot how to express themselves, like when they were a kid and did and said whatever they were feeling at that second. And because they did that, they lived in the moment, not in the past or in the future. So happy January 2nd, 2007! May we live this and everyday to the fullest!
