Have you paused for a moment in your busy day to ponder the fact that you have a clean, 365 day slate in front of you. You can start to do something you never did before, or stop something that is annoying you, like smoking or excessive anything. A new year doesn’t have to change anything…but it can. Change comes from within. If you are in a wonderful relationship, work to keep it that way. If you are in an abusive relationship, work to get out of it. Only you can change you. You may think that you boss, wife, mother, etc. makes changes in you. WRONG, if there are changes made, you are making them. Perhaps in response to input from others but you are the one that is making the change. Instead of lamenting about how helpless you are, look at your alternatives. Even if you are in a maximum security unit, in solitary confinement, you can make changes in yourself. If you are some of the lucky ones with nothing but joy in your life, spread some of it around. Be kind to those around you, try and make other lives as full as yours. We all have choices, a new year can give you the opportunity to make some good ones. Happy New Year.
