I Am The New Year

I am the new year.
I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.
I am your next chance at the art of living.
I am your opportunity to practice what you have learned about life during the last twelve months.
All that you sought and didn’t find is hidden in me, waiting for you to search it but with more determination.
All the good that you tried for and didn’t achieve is mine to grant when you have fewer conflicting desires.
I am the New Year.
I am your opportunity to forgive others and yourself and move into new and wonderful relationships.
I am your “do over”.
I am your new chance.
All that you dreamed but didn’t dare to do, all that you hoped but did not will, all the faith that you claimed but did not have -- these slumber lightly, waiting to be awakened by the touch of a strong new purpose.
I am the new year.
I am your opportunity to renew you allegiance to God who said, "Behold, I make all things new."
