A New Year and a New Decade

It's a New Year and a New Decade, all though I suspect technically the New Decade begins in 2011. However, I'm not going to argue about technicalities because there is enough arguing going on in the world.

A New Year is always filled with potential. New Year's Day is a good day to start resolutions because it gives a person a change for a new beginning. Everyone wants the New Year to be better then the old years, so they make resolutions.

Resolutions are great, but we have to remember that the resolutions are only as good as the effort made to achieve them. Resolutions are just goals stated at the beginning of a New Year. After the goals are stated then the work begins. Making the resolutions, the goals, a reality in one's life takes effort and determination.
