Amid All The Crap

Fresh starts.

Thanks to the calendar, they happen every year, just set your watch to January.

Our reward for surviving the holiday season is a new year, bringing on the great tradition of New Year’s resolutions. Put your past behind you and start over.

It’s hard to resist the chance at a new beginning. A chance to put the problems of last year to bed.

But, who get’s to determine when the old ends and the new begins. It’s not a day on a calendar, not a birthday, not a new year. It’s an event. Big or small. Something that changes us. Ideally, it gives us hope. A new way of living and looking at the world.

Letting go of old habits, old memories.

What's important is that we never stop believing we can have a new beginning.

But its also important to remember, that amid all the crap are a few things really worth holding on to.
