Happy New Years more of 2008 or maybe not?

Now, what does the change of the year make a real difference or is it a state of mind?
Something, about having a clean slate makes us feel more secure or renewed.  But, does it really happen or is it more of the same stuff different day covered up with new a new attitude?
I am a weird fish and believe that a number makes a difference. The number 8 alone makes me feel like you chase your own tail and never get out of the loop.  Just look at it and do you see what I mean.
The number 9 looks like you revist some of the old stuf but you break free from the loop to maybe do something different or make changes that don't have you chasing your tail.

I suppose it is a silly thought, but I am hoping that the banking, insurance, government, real estate, the world for that matter loop around on the good stuff for a while and then break free and do something different and hopefully it will be better changes then we saw ourselves do last year.

Have a wonderful new and successful year.
