Time to Start a New Year

Well, if you're a believer in the Dooms Day Scenarios, that you may be planning a huge New Year's Day celebration, since, according to the Mayan Calendar, this will be the last New Years Day the human race will see.  December 21, 2012, the Mayan calendar ends and because this calendar that has been around for thousands of years ends, some think the world will also. 

As for me, I'm ready to start the new year.  Not sure why, but for some reason, January 1 of each year is always a time of renewal.  I guess it could just as easily happen on March 10th as it could on January 1, but the start of a new year always brings hope that things will be better than the past year.  2011 wasn't a bad year for me and it wasn't a spectacularly good year either.  A lot of good things happened for me this year, and some not so good things happened too.  But overall it was a pretty good year.

While we always hope things will get better, let's not forget that the reason things typically get better is because we tend to learn from the past.
