2011...
So people go on about how a new year means nothing, the same stuff will still happen just the same as it did the last day of 2010. Although I agree that not everything is going to change suddenly just like that, I do think it will have some impact on people if they want it to. As a new year doesn't just bring a new date, but a new state of mind. People reflect on the past year, make plans for the new one, pinpoint things they want to do in the future. Even small things all build up to make an overall change. It's like your birthday, you feel no different from the day before or even the day before that but eventually there is a change. You grow up. I believe the new year to be similar in some ways. A new year comes with a new outlook on the future, the thing that divides people is the choice to take the opportunity of change and run with it, or just to see it pass by every year and decide that the old way of doing things will do. It takes motivation which is something that generally most people lack, including myself. But the option is always there to change, not just on a new year but any time of the year - you just need the motivation to get going and maybe a little push along the way. 2011 isn't always going to be an easy ride, I can tell that already, as every year has it's highs and lows but we'll get through it. I hope you all have a really great start to the new year, especially you Emma as it will be your birthday on New Year's Day!
So I believe the new year can bring a new start, and new changes if you let it and want it to...
Happy New Year,
