The New Year must re-start tomorrow

I was sure that 2009 would be a fantastic year. I was so certain about it that i tried to convince everybody around me. Economic crisis, unemployment, recession.... every one could see signs for a black year, except me. Today I find myself writing this quite scarred.... could it be that 2009 is going to be a terrible year? so far so bad. It hasn't been one month and already most of the people I love have suffered a death or a bad illness or an accident in their families. However, I cannot say I have been directly touched by any of this miseries. Could it be that 2009 is going to be bad for everyone but me? or is the year going to surprise me soon with something painful?

My little me inside myself refuses to believe that I am wrong. This year is supposed to be a good one, for me and for all around me, otherwise, how could I be happy if the ones I love are not? Then... have we made a mistake in our calendar? could it be that the New Year hasn't started yet? Maybe we should follow the Chinese calendar, which states that the New Year doesnt start until January 26th, which is tomorrow.

If your year hasn't started as good as you wish it had, why don't you celebrate tomorrow (even if just very privately) the beginning of the New Year, the one which is going to bring all those good things you want? Give it a try, you never know! It cant really get any worse, I guess....

So Happy New Year's Eve!!
