59 - your day
Lose weight, eat healthier, work out at the gym, spend more time volunteering, save more money, learn a new language, travel more, read more, stay in touch with people better, be nicer to people, donate more money to charity, pray more, go to church more, be less impatient, less irritable, less judgmental, spending quality time with family are some things people may have chosen as far as their new years resolution to name a few. Im sure there are plenty more that I havent thought to add to the list.
It would seem pretty generic, everyone has their own personal/private resoutions. Ill give you a moment to think of your past resolutions and reflect on them.
Ive decided after thinking about why some resolutions arent taken seriously or given proper attention and serious follow through that personally, that day holds nothing more than marking another day/year. Albeit a big festive day, a marking of time/history.
365 days have past and now another set of days equalling what? 365 days will go by until that same day. OK with that reasoning Ill get it thrown back at me. I can already see it happening. I dont want to say we celebrate the New Year for nothing. Im talking about the resolutions and the importance we put on them.
What makes it so special and private to one person. Its just another day. I will admit that its a big, fun, glitzy evening where inhibitions are thrown out the windows (for some) Where the company you love surround you and you all enjoy the camraderie. Its another reason to buy a new outfit complete with shoes. Its a night where some people reinvent themselves for the night, letting their hair loose and embracing the energy of the evening.
What makes it so special? Its just another day. Is there another day that would hold more meaning? That might give you reason to get a new outfit? reward yourself with a new electronic gadget? I was thinking that if people were to make a resolution on this day then it meant something more than just something thats done by everyone in the world at the same time. Its personal, private, and theres meaning behind it because its your day. The resolution might actually mean something more, might even be followed through with success and continuity.
Anyone can pick a random date on the calendar and say this is the day. Some do it that way. But if you cannot decide one out of the 365 days there is one day that stands out personally for each of us.
Your very own New Years Day. Your birthday. Happens once every 365 days.
If you happen to read this and it is your birthday. May the next 364 days be full of love, happiness, meaning and wonder. May it be filled with new experiences and deeper understanding of who you are. Last but not least, may you share yourself with others and enjoy the pleasures of mind, body and spirit.
