The virtual RESET button – Happy New Year

Its just another day — isnt’ it?

Not really. Today is the last day of 2008. And while I look out my window to see a brisk sunny winter day that looks like any other, the truth is there is a deeper meaning to this day in particular. Symbolically it is the end of a year and the beginning of a new one. Symbolically so many of us will wash away 2008 and look ahead to 2009, renewed and refreshed.

All of us can collectively hit our virtual RESET button and start 2009 anew!

Its not often I want to put a year behind me…but 2008 was not too kind to many of us. I’m sure so many of us will look back upon 2008 as a stepping stone, an unpleasant, but required, step in making the leap forward into the New Year!

I recently bought a book at a local bookstore. When my transaction was complete, the woman behind the counter said, “Don’t listen to what the media is saying, 2009 is going to be a GREAT year!” Without missing a beat I responded, “I know! I’m counting on it!”

And indeed I am! I am stepping into the year ahead full of hope and optimism. Change is never easy — but in the end its almost always fully worth it! In 2008 I endured quite a bit of discomfort, but I know 2009 will bring fresh new magic into my life and into the world around me. Count on it!
