New Years is not a holiday I actively celebrate, haven't for a long time. I usually even forget to check if it's midnight or not yet. I'm not much of a drinker and after a few bad New Years Eves out, once seeing a drunk driver going up the off ramp to get on the highway going the wrong way, I am quite content to stay home.
Still, watching all the nostalgia and countdown shows on TV I have to ask, where on earth did this year go????? It was January about a month ago, I swear, hot sweltering August the month after that, and all of a sudden Thanksgiving, Christmas and the end of the year came rushing at me! I honestly do not ever recall feeling that a whole year just whizzed right past me at the speed of light or something. Weird.
So, here it is. Nothing profound to say, won't make any resolutions, I never do. It is a time to start anew and keep moving forward. And it is time to start counting down ...
