Fresh Year! Fresh Month! Fresh Faces!

January, 2012: it's a new year, beginning now with a new month. A time to recall the old and at the same time to eagerly look forward to all that's bright and new. When we think about the year behind us, we can't help but to also think about what the future may bring us. A new acquaitance? A new friend? A new lover? A new boyfriend? A new partner?

Now, it's true that most of us are comfortable with the status quo. We like the routine and and what we're familiar with. It's well known and comes with few surprises. After all, it's already a part of us. It takes little adjustment on our part.

But a new face? That's something exciting. A welcome change to the everyday and ordinary. The potential is endless and it offers us a distraction and an adventure. Will he be the one that maybe changes my life? Is he the one to rock my world and turn it upside down?  A spark of danger and uncertainty to spice up our day/night/weekend/year?   A breath of fresh air that recharges and energizes us in a way that we haven't felt in a long time?

It doesn't really matter too much the reason why to most of us. We like a new person in our lives. It gives us a challenge in building our friendship or relationship. It expands our social circle. It gives us a new someone to share laughter, tears, good and bad times.  Besides, sometimes it just makes us feel good about ourselves and our lives. Happy New Year! Happy New Face!
