As\u00a0today\u00a0approached, I was feeling conflicted. It’s the first day of a new year: a time for new beginnings, new plans, and new goals. January 1 comes with the opportunity for a fresh start and a chance to put the old year behind me.<\/p>\n
I don’t want to give this day that power and I don’t want to give it that burden. I want it to \u00a0be just another day. That way, it’s no more important than every other day that I wake up. Every day holds the possibility of a fresh start and a chance to put the day before behind me. Why dedicate just one day to it?<\/p>\n

\n You have done what you could.<\/em>
\n Some blunders and absurdities<\/em>
\n no doubt have crept in;<\/em>
\n forget them as soon as you can.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n begin it well and serenely<\/em>
\n and with too high a spirit<\/em>
\n to be cumbered with<\/em>
\n your old nonsense.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n good and fair.<\/em>
\n It is too dear,<\/em>
\n with its hopes and invitations,<\/em>
\n to waste a moment on yesterdays.<\/em><\/p>\n
