00:00Anybody else out there finding that your New Year's resolution was impossible to keep?

00:04I'm going to say something. I don't think it's your fault. I think it makes total sense.

00:09Why are we celebrating a new year in the dead of winter?

00:13Why are we celebrating new beginnings at a time when nature rests, animals are hibernating,

00:21birds fly south for the winter?

00:23The time to celebrate a new beginning and a new you and a new resolution

00:27is in the spring at the vernal equinox when the flowers bloom and it gets warmer and the birds return.

00:33That's how nature does it. Why are we fighting nature?

00:36I mean, all due respect to Pope Gregory VIII who saddled us with this Gregorian calendar system,

00:43but it just makes absolutely no sense.

00:45Plus, hear me on this one, if March is the first month of the year, that means September is the 7th.

00:52October the 8th, November the 9th, December the 10th.

00:56You see where I'm going with this, right?

00:58So I'm going to say, screw it.

01:00I'm going to take the winter to recover, to rest,

01:03and I'm going to make New Year's resolutions in the spring.
