I recommend starting a new journal for the New Year.
Why? You might ask. Well, the answer is simple. It's the new start of a new year. It's a new beginning. start a new year with a blank slate. It's time to let 2012 go and start afresh.
Then, the moment you can, journal on the 1st of January your first blog entry. Stay up late and journal at midnight if you want. OR, write when you first wake and greet the New Year.
Start the 1st blog entry with: "Welcome New Year" as a journaling prompt and welcome her in and talk about your hopes and dreams for 2013 and of your journal.
