Nothing Changes On New Year's Day

I can't relate to making "New Year's resolutions", or the idea that any particular year is going to be better or worse than another.

You are still you, and I am still me.

It's all just days, and we can really only take one of them at a time.  Why bite off more than one can chew?

It's good to have goals, but setting oneself up for unrealistic expectations is not my preferred way of doing things.

And so, here is the New Year's Day song by U2, for you to get stuck in your head today.

All is quiet on New Year's Day
A world in white gets underway
I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes on New Year's Day
On New Year's Day
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one
I...I will begin again
I...I will begin again
Oh...
Maybe the time is right
Oh...maybe tonight...
I will be with you again
I will be with you again
And so we're told this is the golden age
And gold is the reason for the wars we wage
Though I want to be with you
Be with you night and day
Nothing changes
On New Year's Day

~U2
