It's approximately six months into the year and while we are inundated with talk of New Year's Resolutions around the first of the year, one rarely hears about the six-month checkpoint! As I reset myself for the second half of 2019, I want to share with you some of the reasons why I love the "second New Year."
Faithful readers of this blog will recall that one of my New Year's resolutions was to read the Bible. I read it once a long time ago in college but it was for a humanities class and not read through the lens of my Catholic faith. This year, I decided to read it again, thinking about my faith and more carefully about what's happening through each passage.
It's just past the Ides of March, the time of year when inevitably, no matter what is happening in my life, I hit the biggest slump.
The start of a new year means rededicating yourself to whatever dreams, goals and objectives you want to achieve. For me, a new year happens twice annually - fall, when school is back in session, and Jan. 1. This year, my New Year's resolution is to attempt to establish realistic goals that I can reach over the course of the entire year, or at least that is my overarching commitment to myself.
