The second day of the year is quieter than the first.
The greetings slow down. The excitement settles. Real life gently returns to the room.
I like this day more.
Yesterday carries expectations. Today carries honesty.
You wake up and realise nothing magical has changed—but nothing has ended either.
Some plans will survive. Some won’t.
And that’s not failure; that’s sorting.
This morning doesn’t ask you to be better than yesterday.
It only asks you to be present enough to notice where you actually are.
If your mind feels ordinary today, let it.
Ordinary is where most meaningful things quietly begin.
There is a long year ahead.
Today is just about putting your feet on the ground and standing there without rush.
