The New Year...

Be it a new day, a new week, a new month, or a new year, it's nice to have new beginnings. Beginnings, for me, represent hope and a chance to do better.

One of my favorite songs of hope is sung by Ebeneezer, in the musical Scrooge:

I'll begin again
I will build my life
I will live to know
I fulfilled my life
I'll begin today
Throw away the past
And the future I build
Will be something that will last
I will take the time
That I have left to live
And I'll give it all
That I have left to give
I will live my days
For my fellow men
And I'll live in praise
Of that moment when
I was able to begin again
