New Years - Meh

I've never been big on partying for New Years. I realize it's the end of a year and the start of a new one, but I feel like some people just use it as an excuse to lose themselves in alcohol and nurse themselves back to health the first day of the year.

Now that we have a child, New Years seems to be even less important to me. We were excited when we had our daughter because it was the start of a new beginning for us. The journey of parenthood. Other life occurrences bring on excitement as well, graduation, marriage, birthdays...but they are something to be celebrated. New Years just doesn't feel the same as other special moments in our lifetime.

Yeah sure, I get that it's the start of a new year. A time where people make unreachable resolutions, just so 90% of them can make the same one again the next year. I laugh at these people. New Years isn't the time to do this. We need to make life changes on a weekly basis. To eat healthier, stay fit, spend more time with family, improve our relationships...funny how the beginning of the year is the only time people actually try to make these commitments. Then, the resolution flops and we feel as though the whole years is in the pits.

Think positive throughout the year, enjoy family, friends by your side and love in your heart. Add some laughter on the side and you're good to go.  :)
