It is New Year's Day today, and all over the world, people are waking up in various stages of joy and regret. New Year's Day is day of promise, of dreams as yet unfulfilled but also uncrushed. On this day, we can hope for a new start for ourselves or others, we can plan a new strategy, we can use it to begin or end something that will enhance our lives. We can make resolutions with a whole 365 days ahead in which to make them happen.
It is, in short, a day of celebrating the possibilities, and looking ahead to the future. I am on board.
