Do I Need A Clean Slate?

Well the new year has come, all hail 2006. I wrote my first 2006 date yesterday, and I didn't write 2005 first. Normally within the first few weeks of the new year, I still write the past year's date, and have to scratch it out. So, perhaps this is a good sign of where I'm heading.

Usually people make new years resolutions, reflect on the past year, and find out what they want to change about themselves, or they think about the ways in which they can "start things over" in a "new beginning" and apparently midnight on December 31st is as good a time as any to committ to changing.

Well, for my part, there are many things I'd like to change about myself for the future, and many things that are definately unknown about my more near future, and usually that fact alone would scare me beyond belief. I seem to have lived my life thus far with an idea of planning ahead, and then expecting that things won't always go according to plan A, but that's what plan B is for....well at this juncture, there are about 20 plan B's and no plan A. However, in a twist of my psyche, I'm more happy and more comfortable than I've been in a long while. Life is pretty damn fabulous for me these days. There are many people who help to make that the case - both near and far - so thanks guys!

So perhaps the biggest change and resolution for 2006 isn't even a resolution but a realization that my personality is evolving somewhat into being more comfortable with the unknown future...

(update on NYE and all of that crazy insane fun will follow - but for now, I must get ready for work at B & N)

Happy New Year, New Resolutions, New Realizations, and New Beginnings or Great Continuings to you all!
