Hi guys! I hope you’ve had a wonderful holiday season and a great new year so far! I was just thinking about the concept of a “new year”, a new objective period of time in which to make something wonderful happen, a new trip around the sun. And, perhaps even more importantly, a new beginning. No matter how bad things may be going in December, when January 1 rolls around, somehow it just feels different. For one thing, we happily write down 1-1-18 and then groan as we realize that it’s not 18 but 19, as we’re now living in 2019. Apparently. Or in whatever year corresponds to the next year up in your own particular calendar of choice.
The thing is, this idea of a new year (a return to the beginning of it all and yet a step forward at the same time) is an amazing way to rejuvenate our minds and help us to better comprehend the passage of time as well. Just as a new day helps us to have the strength to bounce back from yesterday’s sorrows…and appreciate tomorrow’s joys, a new year helps us to better understand and appreciate our own lives in the context of a finite (and yet simultaneously infinite) sheet of time.
And speaking of new beginnings and recent time, here are some new videos that I’ve had the chance to record in the last few weeks. I hope you enjoy and I hope that this new year is the start of great things for you! :-)
Take care and I hope you have a wonderful new year!
