The first day in a New Year brings possibilities for improvements, changes, resolutions made and kept or lapsed or forgotten altogether. The point is that it can be a fresh start for someone looking for a better life. Having a terrible year in 2009 changed my perspective on many things in 2010. I realized that I needed to have more time to myself, do things daily that were important for my health and not be so concerned about what others thought of me. Simple, yet important for me to continue on a daily basis and not just when I had time for them around other activities.
I embrace this New Year and look forward to what it will bring to me. I know that there will be happiness and sadness. I strive for balance to handle both.
