There is a quote that I share every year: “An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.” ~ Bill Vaughn
As I write this, I am reminded that many people in the world [down under] are already into 2016. I always find that curiously reassuring, as though that means tomorrow will actually come. Some of them are celebrating, some of them are working, some of them just flip over the calendar and go on with life, one day at a time. I look around at the apartment, at the hodgepodge of items in the apartment, at the unfinished projects, at the unpaid bills, at the laundry that never seems to get folded, at the Christmas decorations that will need to be put away, at the detritus of the past year scattered about and wonder what actual difference the changeover to 2016 will make. We often talk about living each day as though it was your last -- great sentiment, but I think it would be really tough to actually DO even though I understand the point of not letting what we call everyday routine get in the way of or totally take over living your life. What we do everyday, day in and day out, IS our life is another way to put it, and tomorrow we will get on with it, neh?
But tonight? Tonight is a time to take a breath, to pause for a moment. Tonight is a night to celebrate, to let the Christmas lights sparkle, to sweep out the old and bring in the new.
