same old me

So I woke up this first morning of 2008 feeling just like the same person I was on the last day of 2007. It always used to amaze me when I was a kid that birthdays and new years did not automatically transform me into an entirely new person. I thought I would (and should) wake up at a new age or in a new year, being wiser and more graceful than I had been the day before.
Never happened.....but still I hold out hope that one day....
