Just like everyone else

I'm just like everyone else.  I'm no different.  I just want to make this year better.  Not that last year was bad, but I want more from my life and I'm prepared to participate in the time honored tradition of these next few calendar days of making strong statements and commitments about the year ahead.

I want to be different.  I want to succeed where others, myself included have fallen short and given up.  I want to come out of the unforseen challenges still moving ahead.

I'm with you, we stand together in anticipation of all of the joys, pitfalls and accomplishments of this pristine New Year  of Two Thousand and Twelve.  I'm just like you and I want to be different, which ironically probably makes us even more alike.  I hope we are standing together at the end of 2012 and I hope that we are still the alike, that we never gave up, that we achieved all that we set out to accomplish and that we can look each other in the eye with pride and know that this time being just like everyone else helped us to be the best I, Me, and you that any of us could possibly be!

Loving the company I keep...

Here's to our bright futures!
