The new year has always truly felt like a new year in my life because my birthday falls on the last day of the first week of the calendar change. I've often wonder what significance a new year had on people whose birthday fell much later in the year because it would seem so artificial to me, the cycle of my life having always been tied to Earth's journey around the sun.
Something else that I find interesting is how the journey changes during adulthood. The passage of time becomes one of things that is tracked not by numbers but by experiences. As a parent, the passage of time is something I see in the changes in my daughter more than in myself. It's made me more appreciative of the journey.
