I’ve come to realize that one’s true new year’s is on her/his birthday. The day of our birth is how we orient the time we experience in this life. New Year’s Resolutions should thus be made on our birthdays, not the arbitrary date of January 1st. We come into the world on our birth-days; it seems appropriate to give the day more credence, beyond imbibing copious amounts of poison on every anniversary. What do we have to show for our time?
