Fresh starts, thanks to the calendar, 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 years 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. Who gets to determine when the old ends, and then new begins? It's not a day on a calendar, 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 it's important to remember that amid all the crap, are a few things really worth holding on to.
