There's no more time to lament on the regrets we may have or had this past year. So from now on, never let go of an opportunity to do something that will make you better because you'll regret not doing it.
After some thinking, I've come to the conclusion that my resolution is one word: Better. Better than last year...because I wanted to ride my high of 2004's beauty into '05 and it didn't translate fully. I wished some things were better than they turned out, but what can you do now. It's 2006, and it's time to start again...as a better manager, a better person, a better friend...
...a better half. I say the name and I pray it shall be done. I also pray to get in touch once again with some friends and not be a memory.
Happy New Year everybody, and let's make it a great 2006.
