Oh, it's the new year again! Gosh, I've seen a lot of these, but I never get tired of celebrating the chance to say goodbye to the old and to wholeheartedly welcome the new! The New Year to me is starting again on a new slate.  And who doesn't like that? Who doesn't want to forget about the mistakes, the roads not taken, the regrets, the goals not met.  It isn't that I want to berate myself, I don't. I just simply look forward to a clean plate. I mean slate.  Well, really I mean a full plate!
