Every Day is a New Year

A new year is here. A chance to evaluate where one is at in their goals for one's life. Like a birthday or anniversary, we can use the new year to reestablish the direction of where we are headed. The day to day sameness of existence can take the edge off our reaching for a better self, and sometimes we are numbed into not thinking about our goals and ways of stretching towards a higher ideal. So I take the new year opportunity and look up towards God and try to put into place goals and desires that will lead me towards Him. I should so this every day, with a commitment each day to look towards God for direction. Perhaps in this new year I will begin each day as if it is the beginning of a new year.
