Sweep yesterday's mistakes under tomorrow's carpet . . .

There's something appealing about new years. Sure, it's an excuse to drink endless champagne- but there's just something appealing about new beginnings and fresh starts. Maybe it's just because it makes you realize everything you'd like to do, but don't. Maybe it's just good timing to start something new. No matter who you are, there's something to be said about letting go of old baggage. Carpe diem. Be a better person. Wave yesterday's shadows goodbye, and welcome tomorrow's morning sun rays. But now matter how hard we try, can we ever let go of the past? I can't help but wonder, can you ever let go of old baggage or does it follow you forever?
