Welcome 2007!

Welcome New Year. Welcome, 2007!

So, new year is here. 360 and few days more of new things, new events, new promises. Even though I haven't made any resolutions since forever. Actually, I cannot even recall what New Year's Eve I did a resulution or few for the last time! And naturally, I cannot recall either, what that resolution was nor if it come true.

But still, a new year makes one's mind excited, ready for anything and everything and suddenly there's hope and new strength. I suppose having a new year makes it all bit different, no matter how much or little one's life would actually change during the weeks and months to come. But it makes things possible. That's why so many promise to quit smoking/drinking/taking drugs or decide to lose weight/change a job/get one/take a trip/find love/whatever.

For me, not making resolutions means that I make decisions and goals all year around. Just because it's not 2006 anymore but 2007 doesn't change that. I have few ideals, few dreams, few goals and plans and a wonderful man to share them all with. Plus two "little ones", our guinea pigs.

I recall a song from the musical Sunset Boulevard, in which a bunch of actors were singing about their dreams and hopes for the new year and in the end of the song they mentioned, "hope we're not saying these things this time next year". There's a seed of truth in those words; some of us make decisions, which do not last that long. Resolutions, which are forgotten long before even January ends! And I don't want to live my life that way. That's why I'm careful with mentioning what I dream about. It's so much better to talk about dreams when one has already achieved them!

Now, let's raise a toast to the new year. May 2007 make dreams, hopes, wishes, plans and goals true, possible and reality! May 2007 be a PF year!
