A New Year, and a new outlook

What really changes when we move from an old year to the new year? Is it something in us that feels that we must change? Or, is it just another day that we move forward on? For me, I am finding that I am starting to change. And by change, it is me becoming older. I was joking with Catherine last night, realizing that as I head to being 35, I was wondering what 35 is supposed to look like? Am I that guy now? When did I become "middle aged?" I say no. I may be getting older, but to quote a great song by Pearl Jam, " I've changed, by not changing at all." I am looking forward to what this new year will bring. I have found that worrying about tomorrow allows you to miss what is happening today. So for me, the change will be to stop and enjoy the day that I have. And in the end, isn't is always about the challenge of life? I am truly excited to see what life has to offer and to enjoy living.
