What's new about a New Year anyway? It's the same days and same nights, just a man-made chronological measure of time. On several New Years' eve, this is how I felt like about the celebration, which seemed to be blown out of proportion including resolutions we would forget in three months.
A new thought dawned on me this time though. Amidst the gargantuan celebrations and revelry of mankind, it's actually Mother Nature positioning us in the same galactic place in which we were in the previous year and giving us a chance to let go of things, move on and start over. Probably, it was a casual remark made by a friend about how 2017 wasn't good for her and her family in terms of health and wellness and how she was looking forward to 2018, that made me think that way.
Mundane in it's profundity, the simple thought caused me to realize how we compartmentalize our life and it's events by time and a year is the best way to relate to it. It's a big chunk of time within which we club our feelings and experiences together and move forward towards another, forever seeking a better tomorrow and another chance to live all the seasons. The Sun, Moon and Stars do give us a chance to relive time in a better way, every year. Here's wishing you a Happy New Year!
