Today is Friday, January 02, 2009 and this is the second day in 2009. We still feel the New Year celebration sensation and this is my New Year's reflection.
On the New Year eve, I received two invitations. One came from my working partner and the second came from my choir team. It was hard for me to choose, so I decided not to come at both ceremony. Never meant to hurt anyone by coming to one party and rejecting the other party. My family went to our home town, so I celebrated New Year eve by myself.
For many people, new year is the turning point of their life to start a new beginning. People make new resolution and start to change toward their new resolution. The question is, why do we have to wait until new year to start something good? At the first dawn in 2009, the first sunrise is still the same as the day before. We're still breathing the same air and still facing the same problems.
For me, New Year is just another new day. It has no different from the other new day we have. Each morning we thank God for the new day, plan our day, and live our life. For me, we don't have to wait until New Year just to start something good or make new resolution. We can do it everyday. Let's celebrate our new day with new spirit.
Never stop dreaming, hoping, and loving...
Because the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassion never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness (Lamentations 3: 22-23, NIV)

Ce, bukan menunggu tahun baru untuk melakukan sebuah resolusi... Tetapi mungkin kebanyakan orang merasa kalau tahun baru maka semua yang uda mereka rasakan di tahun yang lalu mereka lupakan... mereka tinggalkan karena ada perubahan tahun.
Kebanyakan orang tidak bisa melupakan dalam waktu satu hari (waktu matahari sudah bersinar atau tenggelam lagi)
Setiap hari bisa dijadikan hari untuk melakukan sebuah perubahan, Tetapi pergantian tahun baru menjadikan semua orang sadar bahwa umur mereka sudah bertambah dan mereka harus serius untuk berubah. Seringkali orang berpikir masih ada hari esok untuk menjadi lebih baik.
Aku setuju banget dengan prinsipmu. "Let's celebrate our new day with new spirit"... dan bagus jg kalau semua orang sadar bahwa perubahan memang tidak harus menunggu tahun baru.
