Have you ever noticed how much positive energy is generated by just thinking about a new year that is about to begin?
Next week is really just another seven days in our lives, and yet, because it is a new year, we have a feeling of hope, a feeling that better things (whatever those things are - personally, locally or nationally) will happen.
I honestly don't know if there is any magic to a new year beginning, but I guess if we want to feel there is some magic in that new date, maybe that will make it be so.
Anyway, happy new year to everyone who reads this, and I hope that your positive visions for the new year do come true. It never hurts to have a positive vision for the future.
