Around this time of year I begin to hear more and more people say how much they are looking forward to the beginning of the next year. I say it too. But wondered today what that really means, and why it's so important to people. Reality is, on January 1 we still have the same life we were leading on December 31. Same job. Same relationships. Usually the same goals that didn't get accomplished the year before (gigglin'). So what is it that causes this magic of passing from one year to the next?

We need a way to justify a do-over. You're right - same stuff, different day, but 1/1 does that for most of us (western hemisphere-ians).

For me:
Same goals
Same people
Same depressing job
Same bills
Same food in the fridge
The list goes on.

But, I look forward to the pseudo-cleansing that 1/1 brings.

[this is good]

i'm right there with you. pretty much what i was thinking' just wondering if it held a different meaning for anyone else. i must say - i'm looking forward ;-)
