Enter 2016

It seems it is that time of year for renewed promises to one's self, family, friends, boss, Dogs and all other matter of being...that we're going to turn ourselves around, be healthy.  Be something, some version "better" of ourselves than we were the previous 365 days.  

I get it.  We are humans and as such strive to always be "better" than ourselves.  Better than others. Better ..... than....

Why?  Why do we do this?!

Because it feels good to that inner kid that needs the approval.  It gives us the acceptance from our peers that we crave.   It says "Yes!  I'm with you!".  Fist raised in the air.  Triumphant countenance. 

But it all lacks planning and patience. Usually not well thought out.  

We need to be patient and kind with ourselves. 

That's my new year's resolution.  

Happy New Years!
