Welcome to a new beginning. A new year. Who knows what will come of this year. Guess it's time to explore it.
As for those resolutions..
Hey, don't be too hard on yourself. Quite a few years ago I decided to try to go a years without buying any new music. Those who know me well know how hard that is for me. I just wanted to try. To prove to myself that I don't worship music, itself. I decided to try new years as an easy to remember date. I did succeed. After about four new years of trying. Talk about bummed. Yet, when I succeeded...I felt so good. A long fought victory. Other times I fought, I prayed, for days on end. desperately for something. For a change to come. You know, those: " this year, please make [blank] happen. - or stop happening." Only to eventually wake up & go "...wait, when did that finally happen? Where was I at?" Crazy. Change isn't often easy. Whether you suddenly have to deal with it having happened. Or if you are trying to instigate the change.

I
have a friend who has decided to eliminate wasting time. I'm not sure
when, or in what form, I began to really examine my life. To eliminate
the wasteful, stressful parts. Talk about one thing leading to another.
Who knew obtaining from music would lead to clothing changes, furniture
changes... explorations into art. Long, meditative walks/hikes... you
never know where a change can lead... even mistakes... can lead you
somewhere. You may have needed to go there...more than you know.
Welcome
to midnight. Remember though, there's another one in 24 hours. Every 24
hours. There are a lot of chances to start again. Don't give up.
Now.... I gotta kiss my girl!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
May His grace drip from your fingers,
B
