It is January 1st of 2016. It is amazing how something as simple as the date changing and a new year can become something so big and important. We celebrate New Years Eve in hopes that it will be a start for a better year than the last. We make sure we are with those special people in our lives in hopes that it will bring some sort of good luck or good karma. There are so many people that use it as an excuses to get drunk and high! I used to be that person. I would have anxiety over the planning of New Years Eve because if I couldn't get completely obliviated that night than my new years would be ruined!! I look back and think how stupid I was.
I was sitting with my sister at dinner New Years Day and she says " I have to eat some sauerkraut" I said "why?" " Oh its good luck" she says. Really? It truly amazes me all these things we find so important new years eve! We should make everyday important. Our New Years Resolution should be to enjoy our loved ones everyday! We should live out these new year resolutions everyday in a form of goals and life changes. Life goes by too fast to wait for the new year to set goals. I know this next New Years eve I will not be waiting up till midnight just to see a ball drop. I will be going to bed early and sober:I will wake up New Years Day refreshed(ha ha I haven't woke up refreshed since 2002 the year my oldest was born) I think we should all have goals and focus on reaching those goals and always setting new goals. I feel like I blink and another year goes by and it was just yesterday my children where babies. I have so many years lost to my addiction and so many lost memories that I don't wanna waste any time. I wanna cherish every moment. It shouldn't matter if its January 1st or May 1st each new day is a fresh start.
