Idle minded

Today, like most days, I awoke without needing to give assent to that action. There has been a fair amount of talk generated around the new year and what it might hold for those who are amiable to its persuasion. I agree that change and goal setting are important, often so important that they require constant reaffirmation, especially for those who are weak willed. I also maintain the view that one has to be accountable for the direction their life has gone, but to do so only once a year is simply neglectful. This date of December 31, that prolonged wait for 11:59, that ten second countdown to midnight, are all arbitrary points of reference soon to be forgotten in flux of life's moments.
