The end is just the beginning?

Every year we celebrate the arrival of the new year, but when that beginning is but a distant memory, it's hard to remember how we began the preceding year.  Oftentimes, we reflect on the year that just passed and look forward to the opportunities that await us in the year to come.  Perhaps it's our way of dealing with those disappointments that we prefer to forget.  In a sense, it's a way to reset the clock and wipe the slate clean.

Either way, my wish is that 2013 is filled with good health, happiness, and opportunity; but most importantly, I pray for peace, never to have it end, and to that I say, "let it begin with me."  Happy New Year!
