Zen Buddhist and the new year? new years resolution meditation

thinking the new year, now in 2010, could be a good time to kind of take a Zen Buddhist look at the year ahead and plan out what you can and can't achieve in the forthcoming year, like a new years resolution.

zen would be to focus on the now though mostly, but also think of how you can proceed in the now in the coming year or through the year as it is now 2010, though in zen buddhism there probably is no time as such.

like for example plan to keep up to meditation in 2010.
