Is the end of the year a good time for resolutions? Is this when we should be making changes? When we are all tired, miserable and broke from the winter feast and gift giving? Surely the better time to change our life would be spring when the weather and the light is set for the better. Let's do that then.
It wasn't me that said this but I agree with it.
When I was young I expected I would matter, specifically, I would matter in a way that is remembered. A long time into they future they would remember me, longer than for great deeds, it would need to be profound words. Like Confucius, I don't know Confucian but I know Confucius says... I wonder did he really say. Anyway, now I am older I get that none of us say words profound enough to be immortalised. All we do is love life and maybe the storytellers will conspire to create a tale in our likeness.
