New Year, New You

How many times do we hear about the new year being a new beginning? It seems like a constant barrage of diet commercials, online dating ads, and any other sort of self-help gimmick available.  Well, the other day I had my 31st birthday and then a few days later, the new year came.  I can't say I feel a bit different.  This year seems just like last year.  But then again, I didn't start a new diet or sign up for eharmony or match.  That could be the problem! LOL! 

What should I do to make this year feel different, to make this year BE different?  I'm getting in touch with old friends and weeding some others out.  I will continue seeing my therapist and the acupuncturist.  I also intend to do what's best for me, not everyone else.  The only birthday or Christmas present I received this time was from myself.  I am the only one who can truly make this year different for myself.  Hopefully by the end of this year I will have made a positive change in my life.  I will wait for the day I feel renewed.  I can't promise I'll wait patiently, but I'm trying.  Happy Birthday and Happy New Year to me and to y'all!
