While reflecting on this, I found out that there is a whale of difference between two attributes: endearing character and trait unbecoming.

I am the New Year ...
I am an unspoiled page in your book of time.
I am your next chance at the art of living.
I am your opportunity to practice
what you have learned about life
during the last twelve months.
All that you sought
and didn't find is hidden in me,
waiting for you to search it out
with more determination.
All the good that you tried for
and didn't achieve is mine to grant
when you have fewer conflicting desires.
All that you dreamed but didn't dare to do,
all that you hoped but did not will,
all the faith that you claimed but did not have -
these slumber lightly,
waiting to be awakened by the touch of a strong purpose.
I am your opportunity to make all things new.
I am the New Year!

"Learned that you can't change mistakes made with people in the past, but you can change the outcome of those mistakes at any time by taking responsibility for them. Do what is right to best correct them and accept them so that you can be forgiven and forgive yourself. Most people usually have already forgiven you; they are just waiting for you to forgive yourself so that you can both move on."
