2013 went out with a hiss and 2014 came in with a bang! Nothing that i planned to happen came to fruition. I was so excited I have always loved New Years Eve. Ever since I can remember I have observed it by staying up all night looking at Dick Clark's Rocking New Eve show.
When I was a kid the all lure was simply getting to stay up all night with my brothers and watching my favorite musicians perform. Pretending I was not sleepy so that i wouldn't get sent to bed.
Of course as a teenager, this same ritual was accompanied by the phone pressed to my cheek with my best friend on the other end. Both of us giggling like mad and talking about boys.
As an adult, same deal. A good friend is always near by. Much giggling is occurring as well as switching channels watching for celebrities and musicians. Except now there is reflection. Lots of reflection. Where am I? Who am? What did I accomplish this year?...etc.
It's a good time to purge. Clean house. Out with the old, in with the new. Be honest and open. I also have a kind of ritual to help with the purging, healing process that I do but was unable to do it as planned.
I'm kinda bummed, because this year I was at work and for the first time in my life, my first 2 interactions in a new year were with virtual strangers. No friend in sight. My Co worker was the first person to hug me and then i received a text from an acquaintance i know thru someone else wishing me a happy new year. So yeah, I was bummed. But life goes on and in true purple mind fashion, I moved on. The year has been rocky ever since. I hope that poor start is not a harbinger of more to come.
My frame of mind us shifting though. My life and my perceptions of my life are up to me and me only. The miserable feeling I experienced that night are fading. Being replaced by more positive actions. I'm putting me in charge of my Joy. I love it!! Stay tuned for more. Peace
