thought of the day 2009 12 15 - Birthdays and New Years

It's the holiday season again and as we get closer to Christmas and New Years, I have to admit that I don't really celebrate much. As far as I care, it's just one more day. I look at my birthday and New Years, the same way - congratulations for not dying on this go around.

Some people make all these big resolutions for New Years, like stopping smoking or exercising or spending more time with your family, just to break them three days later. Every year I make one resolution and it's the same every year. I resolve not to die this year. At worse, I'm only going to break that once.
