Welcome to 2005
Happy New Year! I hope 2005 is kind to everyone. I always like New Year's Day. I'm not so hot about New Years Eve, but January 1 is wonderful. It's a day full of promise and potential for great things to come. I always think of it as a hard stop to the old and a shotgun start to the new things I want in my life, almost like spring cleaning for the soul. For some reason on New Years Day I can much more easily let go of the baggage I'm carrying around with me than on any other day of the year. I don't know why January 1 is any different than June 1, but it is. Whatever it is, I woke up feeling rested, happy, and hopeful about things this morning. I wake up that way most days- I'm just a naturally happy person- but this morning it was almost palpable it was so intense. Almost like the feeling of coming home at the end of a long long day. I practically skipped down the hall to make myself a cup of tea.
And now I am going to go pick up trash on my beach with Surfrider, to keep it a hospitable place for both people and marine life. A plastic bag from Walgreen's is unsightly to me and deadly to dolphins, sunfish, and other critters that eat jellyfish. Everyone and everything should have a healthy and happy 2005!
