As I sit down to reenter the blogging world, I find myself perplexed at the adage of a new year. Is it really a new year in the existence of a new chapter in your life. I guess it is to those who measure your life in the boundaries of time. On Friday I turn 32 and I guess it is significant as I will have completed another year. I personally like to think of a new chapter as something different or something significant has been accomplished, for example a new job. For those who are in the process of having a baby, the new year may be the year that the baby is born in but that journey started with a romance of some sort to the point on the road at which you are today.

Too often we make the new year’s eve a celebration as woohoo we made it, and then when the new day dawns we are in the same mess or situation we were yesterday. Life goes on whether we like or not. However we can find strength in the respites that the pauses give us and to me that is what new years is about a moment to catch a breathe to face a new day no matter how daunting it is.

Did you make a resolution this year? if you did great? if you didn’t than I don’t feel so bad. My hope for you is that you take time to look at your life, look for the things you would like to accomplish and begin your climb. Maybe next new year’s eve you will be at the top of a mountain instead of dreaming of one.

Cheers and Happy New Year
