Sooo, here it is, barely a few days old.

The New Year.

Yup.  That’s what it is alright.  Okay.  Um-hmmm.  Here we are.   :neutral:

The problem with finding ourselves in a “new place” is that we’re usually still carrying baggage from our previous journey.  Some of it is important, of course.  Lessons learned.  They keep us from making the same mistakes again and again (hopefully!).   :roll:

But how do we walk away with the lessons learned while leaving as much of the negative crap behind as possible?  How do we maintain the optimism and hope, despite past failures, disappointments—even fear?  Is it ever really possible to start fresh?

How do you plan to make your New Year really new?
