Christmas was over but the spirit of jolliness was still not gone from the air and so it would remain until the new year began. Eloa, was not a very keen person on festivities, well except for her mother’s cooking and spending time with Nia might be but this time she also felt slightly different. On New Year's Eve I reflect. I take a moment to acknowledge my achievements and see how far I've come in just twelve months. I see the emotional progress, the focusing on the relationships that really matter to me. I see my efforts to make this world a better place. I dwell on the positive thoughts, let them soak in a little deeper, then take a deep and relaxing breath. The New Year can come. Then I start over, building a new layer upon the foundational achievements that came before, Eloa thought
