The new year

The new year is coming.  I use to look forward to staying up late and making resolutions.  A new start, a reason to make changes.

Now the new year already seems old, hope of change is over shadowed by knowledge that change isn't always good.  I find it hard to celebrate something that, as the years pass, seems more and more pointless.

I suppose I am in a funk.  Perhaps my resolution should be to look for the positives, to find joy in life.  Christmas was a good time this year, with few melancholy moments.  I was encouraged and didn't have to pretend to enjoy myself. 

Maybe it is because this year is ending on a positive that I don't want to start new.  I want things to keep going as they are.  No more changes.
