A New Year, A New Beginning and a New Day
Every January 1 st we welcome a new year! New Year’s Day is a time for reflection. We ponder the past year… the events, our achievements and our failures. We also consider our foibles, and how we can improve ourselves. Many of us vow to lose weight, start a workout program, eat healthier, or in general, decide to become a better person. The wonderful thing about January is that it is the genesis of the year. Genesis is the start or beginning of something. No matter what the past year was like or what it brought to us, when January comes, it is a chance to begin anew. We can take the blank slate of a new year and an unknown future and put together plans, goals, hopes, and dreams. Or we build on what we have already started in previous years. Not only is January 1 st a time of genesis, but every day we wake up is a new beginning! How blessed we are that 36...
