New Years Eve

I enjoyed a quiet New Years at my friends house eating pizza, playing games and listening to music.  This is a photo of one of the decorations on her beautiful Christmas tree.

I used to dread New Years as I associated with loss, missed opportunities, and disappointment.  I focused too much on the negative on the end and the new year always seamed daunting to me.  Now I no longer view it this way.  To me it is a continuation, a journey, I think about the things I have accomplished over the year rather then the things I did not accomplish.  I do not give myself unrealistic expectations by setting resolutions, but look at ways I can challenge myself and see what I can achieve.
