Today is My Birthday!!!

As per the title, today is in fact my birthday. With that said I am resolved to make this year a great. A person very close to me talks about a belief in something called the Laws of Attraction. The basic principle lays in the belief that everything you want to happen will happen if you project positive thoughts towards the desired outcome. While I may be over simplifying the belief, the premise itself is rather basic. Think something will come true, and it will.
I will repeat myself, this year will be GREAT!!!
As I begin the dance in the bottom half of my fourth decade I making declarations to myself that I intend to keep. Let it be known that "So...Yeah" is back and it is back with a renewed vigor to return all of its previous glory. Even if it is only five minutes a day spent sharing my thoughts with the world for all to see, then so be it. Come on, it is only five minutes a day. In the time it takes me to smoke a cigarette I can add to this wonderful blog.
What does that mean? Less smoking, more writing. While it is easier said than done, so are most things. I am sure that everyone has heard that the journey begins with the first step. Let everyone be on notice, the sound you just heard is that of my life on the heel of my right shoe.
Today in the paper I read some people's New Year's resolutions. Reading them reminded me that I did not make any resolutions that began on the first of January. The more I thought about it I realized that New Year's resolutions are practiced as an arbitrary custom assigned to a single day that is considered a fresh start, but I see a fundamental flaw here. The New Year tradition begins on a day that is celebrated on the Roman Calender. I have to ask what about the Chinese Calendar or the Jewish Calender, what about their New Year's days?
So today I am marking as my New Year's Day. It is a new year and it is time to be out with the old and in with the new. I have made several personal resolutions for myself. While some of them fall in line with so many other people's (stop smoking, eat better, exercise more) there are more that I am going to give every effort I can muster that will help me make this year true in its greatness.
I am not wishing. I am not promising.

I am attracting.

Positive things happen to positive people,
