2010 begins on a Friday because that's the way the calendar worked out this time. In other years, the New Year began on a Wednesday, or a Monday. In fact, at one time or another, every day of the week has taken its turn in ushering in a New Year. But in reality, putting the calendar aside, it is simply a new day.
January 1st marks the beginning of a New Year. It is a good time to look ahead and expect better things. Many will make New Year's resolutions in anticipation and expectations of positive changes for the New Year. Of course, statistics show that many of those resolutions fall by the way side before the end of February.
I am one who is certainly looking forward to a new and better year. 2009 had its share of challenges for me; how about for you? I am anticipating great things ahead in 2010. I hope you are too.
But, do we even need to wait until the end of a year to get excited and full of anticipation for a new and better year? Again, there's nothing wrong with expecting a better year ahead. There's nothing wrong with making resolutions and affirmations for 2010. But in reality, calendar aside, January 1st is simply another day.
Now before you get mad at me and think that I am trying to steal all the fun and excitement for the New Year ahead, why not consider something. Why can't we start each new day with the same excitement and anticipation of a New Year? Why can't we start each new day expecting great things?
Thinking like that makes every day like New Year's Day, doesn't it? When you think about it, each new day is a brand new day. When you wake up in the morning, yesterday is gone. You cannot go back there. There is nothing you can change about yesterday. Tomorrow is not here yet, so you are left with today. And today is a brand new day.
