The New Year Begins for Real
Yes, I know that January 1 was a few days ago, but it didn't really feel like the new year had begun yet. Lots of schools and businesses were closed for the week because of the way the days fell this year. Things don't really get back in gear until tomorrow.
I'm kind of happy for that because I needed a "practice week" to get my 2014 schedule in gear. Also, I got whacked with the flu stick, so that got in the way of getting very much accomplished over the past few days.
But the slow start is over now, and the first full week of the year looms ahead on Monday. I'm ready and eager to tackle it with my full effort. There's so much to learn here at Wealthy Affiliate and so much work to do on my websites, not to mention lots going on with my other businesses. I can already see that it will be a successful 2014 as long as I manage my time wisely and give each of my ventures the effort that it requires.
I hope that everyone else here at WA is as eager for that first week of 2014 to start as I am. Any time is a good time to start a new business, but there's something especially inspiring about the new year. It's a time to start with high hopes and a clean slate. I did some "rough drafts" over the past few days, but tomorrow I start writing my new epic novel, "The Tale of 2014," in earnest.

Hope you are feeling better! I was hoping to jump in with both feet today and we have gotten about 20 inches of snow and -20 degree weather. I have both girls home from school...sigh, it will start soon ;)
I like the fact that the first business week of the new year has arrived. I felt that everyday after Boxing Day was a strange kind of Sunday. I think that it is important when tackling the new year to remember that you will have some setbacks and outright bad days. I think that the secret is to accept them and not be distracted from your goals and objectives. Get back on the horse straight away :)
It feels the same to me. I've been really busy doing a lot of teaching because my pupil has exams straight after the holiday break. And on top of that our garden is flooded once again and yesterday we had to relocate our chickens to higher ground.

I think the new year is refreshing because it is like a second chance to make something special happen. It is true it is a clean slate, but it feels more like spring time in January. Fresh, clean and invigorating.
Happy 2014 to all.
