2012

I said in January of last year that I don't believe in New Year's Resolutions,

and I still don't.

The internet defines arbitrary as

Based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system.

so there goes my theory of New Year's Day as an arbitrary value. It's part of a system, it is therefore not arbitrary.

But, I don't feel that different from two days ago.

Two days ago was Last year.

That feels arbitrary.

A small amount of progress every day. Try and accomplish something Good every day. Eight hours work, eight hours play and eight hours of sleep every day. Eat or do something healthy every day. Be happy every day.

Every Day.

2011 was good. It's good to look back and reflect and enjoy our progress a little bit. Analyze our mistakes so they don't happen again.

In the end, it feels more Zen to take it a day at a time, one moment at a time and to not put too much stock in holidays, not get wrapped up in One Big Moment because it's going to come and go real quick, like everything else...
