I used to be one of those people that made a long list of resolutions to prepare for the new year. I would stick by them all, diligently, for a month, at the most, and then beat myself up for the rest of the year for not following through with any of them.
Something changed for me this year! I realized that everyday, in fact, every moment is a chance for a fresh start. I seem to get more accomplished, learn more about me, and am overall quite happier when I allow myself to start fresh everyday, not just every year.
Don't get me wrong I'm very excited about the new year, just like I am about everyday! I can't wait to see what opportunities are going to unfold!
I would like to wish all of you a very happy, healthy, and wonderful 2009!

Hey Jessica,
I thought of you tonight while watching Jane Velez Mitchell do an entire show on dogs...exposing puppy mills, segment on service dogs, shelter dogs, etc.
Have a great year (things have to get better for everyone, don't they??!!)

Hi Sherry,
Very cool. :) Thanks, I know you will have a great year as well!
Happy New Year! I totally agree with you about resolutions! No need for them. Just live everyday to the fullest.
Happy New Year!!! I have made resolutions this year--I usually don't so I'm hoping I will stick with it!
great to see you are being so wise :P
i mean happiness should not start with the new year, it should start each new day, just like you said :)
Happy New Year still ;)
Happy New Year to you Jess! I don't go for New Year's resolutions either. I figure that I don't need to wait until the New Year to start doing something I should be doing already.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I believe every day is the first day of the rest of my life so I never make them either and really try to throughout the year to make the most of every day and never, never stop learning..:)
Happy new year and I wish you at LEAST 40 or 50 more ;)

Thanks so much! :) For me, focusing on changing my life in big ways all at once and sticking to it was overwhelming, and pretty discouraging. I agree with your philosophy too!
