Until New Year's

So, the countdown isn't entirely over isn't it? Now, we're holding our breaths until the New Year's Eve and Day, in which we can begin a new, turn over the leave and find our silver lining to start fresh to the year, with all of this new understanding, solidified commitments and clear resolutions to lead better, bigger, healthier life. Is it going to make a difference though? Is it going to be better than last year? We'll we be better at making more realistic promises to ourselves and after having that frank conversation in our heads, we'll we do our best to make the alterations we need to make and keep making to change our lives for the better? Is it possible to do such things?

Why is it that we look for clear, physical manifestations of "New Me", "New Chapter", "New Life", "New Beginnings". I guess, it would be more properly called, physical manifestations of the changes we want to make. We wait for certain times of the year to change certain behaviors; to let go, to tighten, to love, to become recluses. We seek to interpret signs that aren't there, analyze random happenings as signs and think of ourselves as more intuitive, perceptive and that in total we have gained more insight to the matter we call life, when I've been thinking that I just make fool myself.

Why is it that we look for such things and find comfort in them?
