I spent this past New Year's with some friends in New York City. we came to New York to see my family and also hang out with Yoav Shapira and Thanh Troung on New Year's eve and day.
Seeing my family is always great. They are always full of love and support. They enjoy playing with my daughter, Kayla. They love seeing how much she has grown and learned since the last time they saw her. She really is something else. It's nice to see everyone go out of their way to make time for us. I had tspent a good amount of time with Elliott Michelle and Ariel over this weekend which is fantastic. I especially liked having lunch at Ariel's place. She's made quite a home for herself.
Aside from hanging out with the family, it was really nice to see friends. I had not seen Yoav or Thanh in quite a while. It was great to reconnect. I enjoyed telling them what was going on in my life as I love hearing what was going on in theirs. It's great to catch up, talk, exchange ideas or see what you learn from each other. Yoav wanted to spend his New Year's in Times Square and I met up with him there for a bit. There were quite a few people there to celebrate New Year's. It made me think, what was the point of New Year's and why was everyone there to celebrate it?
People make New Year's resolutions. They get a day off of work. They get to see friends again. But New Year's Day is just like any other day on the calendar, what makes New Year's Day so special? I think we all use New Year's as a day to reset ourselves. We wipe the slate clean from last year. This next year is full of nothing but potential. I think that's what we really celebrate on New Year's Eve: our potential. If we did not reach it last year, this year is another chance. This past year has been a blast for me but there is always more to accomplish. I'm looking forward to what this new year is going to bring. I only hope I can live up to my potential.
Speak to you soon,
David
