A new page

The new year is here since midnight.
While many of you were probably too drunk and merry to start drawing new pictures on these blank pages, others have already started lining up their new year projects and act out their lives for the year to come.

As for me, I had a true Bridget Jones moment as I toasted the new year, surrounded by loving smooching couples and with it, the train ride of hell to come back and sleep on th new good resolutions. Bad start to the year - fabulous continuation... Isn't that what they say ? Anyhow, whether it's true or not, I intend it to be. At the end of the day it's all about self-persuasion so, a little bit of "I believe", a little bit of hard work and a lot of vodka-martini's and everything is possible.

I'm not a big believer in New Year Resolutions. I find it to be a mockery. As if we have to wait until December 31st of each year to tell ourselves, and everyone around us for that matter, all the wrong we've done, all the right we could have done, what we always wanted to do but couldn't and plan to do in the new year ahead and bla bla bla... If we really believe in something and if we truly want to achieve it, being within our possible reach, we can do it anytime and not wait until the midnight beat of the clock that will change a yearly figure to do so. New Year resolutions involve too much postponing.

Anyway, after a somewhat disappointing end of 2009 and an lame start to 2010 thanks to the French transport system, I wish for the new year to continue fabulously for everyone. We all deserve the best and in return, we must make the most of what we have and what is given to us and give kindness and respect in return. The world is crappy enough at times without us adding misery to it, don't you think ?

So, have a great January 1st (and happy birthday to my mom)
