New Beginnings: That Time of the Year... Again.

           It is that time of the year again... Yes, I mean that time! Remember that time? When you promise yourself that you would stop eating all those unhealthy foods and drinking so much soda? That time when you promise yourself that you won't open your legs for "just anybody" because that was the old you, and the new you does not seek instantaneous pleasure, but a life-long relationship. It is that time of the year when all our hearts are filled to the brim with hope aplenty. Unfortunately, as the blinding daze of the new year fades, So does our desire to make ourselves better. To take just one more step towards the right direction. To eat healthy and lose those few pounds, or spend more time with our wives instead of  "chilling with the guys".
          Yes, indeed, it s that time of the year again... But, the beautiful thing about being present to witness this whole process all over again, is that as long as one alive and well, there is nothing we can't do. There are no mountains we can't climb. No boulders we can't move! That's the beauty of a new start, and of endless possibilities. So, make this year count! Go out! Pray, Live life, find love, break hearts, and learn lessons, because when it's all said and done, isn't that what it's all about? Being here? Being Alive?
           The only new years resolution worth having is that which permits you to be human. So, in our journey to learning what it really means to be a being of our kind, we must never forget the most important part of it all. The art of just being Alive!
            Happy New Years, and May the Lord be forever in your favor!
