Every passing minute is a chance to turn it all around. So every passing year should be too! It's a new year. I know the New Year's Resolutions thing is lame, but just think about what you WILL be doing this year, even if you don't think it's anything to look forward to, and think about how you can make it better, or be more proactive, more productive, more social, amiable, friendly, giving, generous, welcoming, or how you can take advantage of the situation. It's all about staying positive and giving thanks to people in random ways. Eventually it pays off. Reciprocity.
