I’m not the type of person who makes resolutions on January 1 or buys into the whole new year fresh start thing. It always seemed like an artificial point of demarcation. It shouldn’t take a a new year for you to decide to start fresh or stop biting your nails. But, this time around I am excited. Well, probably more a feeling of relief than excitement for this year to be over. I’m not starting new or making any resolutions. I’m just setting a point of demarcation.
I guess artificial points of demcarcation are sometimes comforting.
Agreed. Last year on New Year’s Eve I found myself unemployed, slightly lost, feeling that a demarcation on the calendar would never be enough to provide me with a sense of transformation. I was more or less right on that. Said transformation did occur, but not for another six months. Granted, 2008 has been so dramatically up and down that I can’t help but look forward to kissing it goodbye forever and hopw that 2009 is a bit more gentle.
