Be kind

The start of a new year is supposed to be a time of new beginnings, a new page, a new start; out with the old, in with the new.

But of course life doesn’t work like that. A new calendar year may mean, for some, a new fiscal year, but for most of us, it’s a continuation — more of the same, same old same old. Which may not necessarily be a bad thing, for some things aren’t meant to change; in fact, shouldn’t really be changed.

While some things would certainly benefit from a refresh, habits and practices that work should be carried over into the new year. New year’s resolutions — start exercising, go on a diet /eat healthy, meet deadlines, keep to a budget — are a good thing, even if they are rarely carried through to December, or not even to March!
