New Year's Day - and New Beginnings

"Nothing changes, New Year's Day." So goes the lyric to the awesome U2 song.

I almost have to disagree with U2 on this (despite the fact that this is a most excellent song!)

New Year's Day is (or can be, at least) a day of personal introspection and reflection. It can be a day to reassess your life, and its direction. And it can be a day on which we can begin to chart a new course - a new career, a new interest or a new focus.

Of course, it's a day for resolutions (some of which will be kept, most not) but dedicating oneself to change is what the day is all about.

In short, New Year's Day is a day of new beginnings. So, let us SEIZE THIS CHANCE to do something new and better, and make us better people.
