Ringin' in the New Year
So I was just chatting with my best friend about New Years, and we both suddenly got super excited regarding the fact that 2010 brings an entirely new decade.
I usually dread New Years, as the drop of the bell usually puts me into a semi depressed state, as yet another year goes by being a single girl, sans kiss at midnight. It’s hard not to become just a little bit saddened by all the happy couples smooching, dancing and gallivanting around the room as the clock strikes midnight, as I stand awkwardly on the side in my pretty little dress.
But, NO, this year is going to be different. I’ve decided New Years isn’t anything to fear. Instead, it’s something to look forward to, as a new year entails new adventures, experiences, people and opportunities. It’s a time to continue on with the goodness in your life, as well as start fresh with all the things you’d rather leave behind in ’09.
Enough of those stupid, cliche, generic New Year’s resolutions to lose 10 pounds, exercise more or eat less chocolate.
Rather, why not make it the year to travel and explore more often, spend more time with friends and family or allow yourself to open your heart up to love and new opportunities?
Start thinking about what you really, truly want to make of this new year that lays ahead of us in just a few days.
Here’s a toast to new things, and a healthy, happy and wholesome New Year to look forward to for once!
