A New Year

No it is not New Years Day, it is my birthday.  It is when I reevaluate my decisions over the past year and set my path for the upcoming year.  Some bridges must be burnt unfortunately but new bridges are built in their place.  The past year has been a financial roller coaster ride for me but I have learned so much.  I have also seen relationships grow weaker or stronger and some end all together.  As it may seem cold there are times when you have to cut ties with people who bring you down.  If you have ever watched lobsters in a tank you will understand.  Jealousy, superiority, unhealthy competition, gossip, and rudeness are not something I care to deal with.  I go into this new year of my life with optimism, good wishes for all to succeed, and an open mind so that I can learn new things every day.  There will always be stumbling blocks along our paths but I have decided to not wait for the storms to pass, I will just dance in the rain.  Happy Birthday to me!
