New Year Day 2016

I hesitate to lose the day, it is the end of the old and the beginning of the new year. Ticking towards the midnight hour, a sense of sadness swells in saying goodbye to the old year as it floods the mind with images. Regrets surface, the should haves, could haves, would haves, lost in the too late nows; the year is gone, time paused without rewind now drifting off into other midnights to come. Beginning anew, a rebirth, restart, resurgence to improve, succeed, survive in lieu of guessing what may await. It’s okay, all will be well it is the continuance of life in time struggling to find and attain the dream. I let the old day go, welcomed in the new with plans of being better, stronger, wiser than I ever was before.
