New Years Day

Over the years I've come to associate a few key things with New Years Eve.  Champagne.  Parties.  The NYC Ball dropping. Kissing  at the stroke of midnight.  Singing Auld Lang Syne. It may be stereotypical but most of these things play a huge part in the New Year.  Then there's the busy circuits.  The non-stop text messages and people just all out giddy with the well-wishing.  Leading up to that- everyone wants to know what you're doing that night.  Where will you be? A lot of frenzy about being at the right place and not missing out. It's becoming less and less frenetic for me.

To me, it's similar to those women you see on Bridezillas.  They are preoccupied with one day to the point where they seem a little crazy or off.  They concentrate so much on the perfect wedding day that it seems they hardly give thought to the most important part; the rest of their lives.  It's sort of like that with New Years Eve.  People are whipped into this frenzy of being at the right place with the right people and bringing in the new year however they see fit.  It seems that little energy is put towards making the entire year ahead prosperous.

So whether you spent it quietly amongst close friends and family or reveled amongst an anonymous crowd amid confetti and bubbly, I hope everyone is able to look forward and make the best of this fresh start.  It's not about how you spent that night.  It's about all the other days and nights that will follow.  2011 is full of possibilities that 2010 held. What will you do with them to make it different than last year? I'm not speaking of resolutions but rather the resolve that we move throughout each day with. What will you do with that? Hopefully, all that you can and more. God willing.   On that note, I wish for everyone more love, more life, more prosperity.

Happy New Year
