Insert semisonic lyric here

I'm thinking of the semisonic song with the lyric "every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end."

And I think - sure, it's 2014 now and that's a new beginning.  But it's so much more than that for me.

It's new confidence. It's new job titles.  It's new potential opportunities.  It new furniture arrangements and windows.  It's a new body image, a new hair style, a new life.  It's new relationships and all the risk, and fear, and potential that brings.

It's fitting to remember that new beginnings come from another's end when the year changes and we blow noise makers and toast champagne.  But it's also fitting to remember change is happening all around is, and it's always in us.  The calendar doesn't have to shift to celebrate a new beginning.

Happy new year to my friends, family, loves who are lost in the past, and those loves I may find in the future.  

May you find a new beginning whenever and wherever you seek it.
