It is hard to believe that the year 2010 is almost over. I clearly remember when it began.
Some people have rituals for the end of the year and the start of a new one.
Some clean their houses so the new year will not find them with untidy homes.
Some do all their laundry so the new year will not start with dirty clothes in their clothes hamper.
Some make resolutions.
Some travel.
Some throw or attend parties.
Some go to NYC to see the ball drop at Times Square and some watch all the festivities on television.
Some go outside and shoot into the air at midnight.
Some light firecrackers at midnight.
Some refuse to let a female cross first over their door threshold on New Year's Day; they believe a man has to be the first in order to have a good and prosperous new year.
Some attend church services on New Year's Eve; they give praise and celebrate with song and sermon and activities.
It is a sound idea to reflect and plan for personal growth in the coming year. It certainly is a time to think of others, and to give thanks for bring blessed to see 2011.
Wishing you all the best,
Sylvia
