Welcome to the year 2017 ...

A new year is upon us! Already. Now. Traditionally, it's a time to scrape yourself off the pavement of life and bounce back with new vigor and purpose. It's a fresh start. Everybody likes new beginnings, when you can forget the past and look to a bright new future. Sure, we've all made mistakes, but why dwell on them? Forge a new path and find yourself a new star!
 
Platitudes aside, it's great to make plans and set goals. I heartily encourage doing so. Without having something to aim at, how do you know when you've hit it? But, do make realistic goals (though, don't let anyone tell you that your goal is impossible if you truly believe it is achievable) like being the first person to swim in the Sun ... *grin*.
 
Of course, there's no reason we must wait until the beginning of a new year to make such changes and goals, but we do tend to do it that way. Oh well. I hope and pray it's a great year. Maybe this is the year we get flying cars, or quantum computers, and maybe we'll finally send people to Mars! Ah, such hopes are everlasting.
