The new year is here well and truly. Local time indicates that the new year is almost 12 hours old. I sit here and am alone in this silence. There is the noise of the blind slapping against the window and of my fingers on these keys. Nothing else moves and that is a mistake. When all is quiet I think to much, there is nothing to distract me.
Now there is music playing. It soothes the savage beast within.
I don’t make New Year Resolutions. I try to not set goals that I know that I will break. If something is important enough, I will not wait until the start of a year. I will decide, then I will plan what needs doing and go about and do it.
I hope that this year brings more than the last. 2005 was my year for standing still. I did not move forwards in my career or with my love life. I did move forward within myself and now know that I have the strength to say NO when that is what needs to be said.
I hope that the coming year is good for you and all those you care about. May the challenges be inspiring and the mysteries force one to explore.
