"...Another year over; And a new one just begun..."
Christmas 2009 in our house has now been and gone. In our case, the joy expressed its presence in many ways, including, of course, amongst our children and their cousins. It was especially a happy occasion to witness my now 12 year old to play along, without being asked, and maintain the enchanting attraction that is Santa Claus for his younger siblings and cousins. We even saw Rudolph's shining red nose high in the sky at 1.30am Christmas morning!
Now, facing the New Year, I've pondered about why and what it means. I mean, it's just another 1st of the month, really. Sure, there's the celebratory Champagne (or three!), resolutions for may others, and the real beginning of the summer holidays.
It’s a hard one! I suppose its really many things – mostly positive - the promises of new beginnings, the chance to recommit to old goals, the pledge to extend ourselves, to be thankful for the things we do have.
To some degree at least, the one explanation I think that captures all about what the New Year means, is Hope! Hope we can do better - financially, spiritually, emotionally, and materially - for ourselves, our friends, loved ones and our communities.
Wishing you a very Happy, success in your pursuits, and a safe New Year!
