The standard greeting after the new year baby kicks out grampa old year.

Why do we celebrate New Years? what is the excitement about?

It’s a time to reflect collectively on what we have accomplished or failed, a time to make new plans for the upcoming year and a time  to celebrate that blending.  Although we truly do this almost every day of our lives.  We really need the new year celebrations to reaffirm our commitment and to separate this chain of never ending events in our lives.

There have been years that I no longer cared about bringing in the New Year and just went to bed, I did ,however, notice that it felt like a very very long year and I was constantly putting the old year numbers in place.

This year I plan to visit old friends for coffee, ride my horse more than twice,  build my craft/workshop and actually start doing some of the crafts I have around the house.  This is stuff that is ongoing and the fact that it’s a new year doesn’t really change it, I just wanted to verbally and in writing, confirm it to myself.  Kind of like a personal contract to me.

I also need to continue my philanthropic ways with my family and help them succeed and move on in their lives.

All the best to you and yours and hope you can stick to your resolutions.

Happy New Year!

Update January 13, 2016

I have begun some of my projects already – have an awesome workshoppy corner in my basement.  Got a little creative with some furniture and it’s starting to look like something I can get into.  Picture to come.

I have also finally connected my wireless tv to the network.  It needed a signal boost to get Netflix on it.

 

Update: March 28, Easter Monday

During April I’ll be looking for friends to connect with  for a little catch up and a coffee/tea.  Tim Hortons is the place and I hope you don’t mind that I may be posting our adventure to the past.  Verbal only and only if you agree.  After all it’s not about me getting story material, it’s about our meeting up.  Let’s warm up the month of April.
