83. The New Year

Every year I'm thankful for the new year to roll around. It gives me an opportunity to think back on how the year has gone and what I want to do better in the coming year. I always have some kind of news years resolution. I'm not always the best at keeping them, and I don't exactly remember them too long after the new year, but I make them and try to be a little better each year. I periodically try to set goals for myself anyway, but there something more special and significant about doing at the new year. It feels like a fresh start, and you always want the next year to start out well. So, I'm thankful for the new year because of the perspective it gives me and the motivation it gives me to live a little better.
