The Coming New Year

I am feeling the anticipation of a new year.  I am not Jewish and didn't celebrate the High Holy Days growing up, but school friends and neighbors did, and somehow it stuck with me that this is my new year.   It makes sense to begin a new year when the crops are in, when school begins, when the ease and frivolity of summer are at a close and it is time to get down to serious whatever

This time of year always energizes me.  It's the time I want to clean my house.  Start new projects.  Renew committments.  Atone and repent and spend time really looking at what I want for my year, what I want for my life.
