Happy Old Year!!!

Happy Old Year!!

I just wanted to make sure I got that in before the last bell tolls. No one ever wishes me one, so I thought I would get on here and wish it to everyone! (You know all 4 of you who read my crazy stuff.) It is sad that Happy Old Year is not wished or celebrated, why do we have to focus on the New stuff anyways?

I do love an adventure, don't get me wrong. Figuring out things and adding new thoughts to my silly little head is quite entertaining. Also trying to figure out new ways of bastardizing the English language is challenging, I have so much competition ya know. I look forward to our New Year and beginnings.

New Year is about things you don't know. What is in store for us as the the new calendar is flipped open to each new month? I mean,  you never really know how many times you are really gonna stub your pinky toe, do you? Whereas in the Old Year, you know that after the 4th time you felt you broke off that little appendage on the coffee table, you thought a little redecorating of the living room was in store, right? You also know how your hair looks in that hair do you tried out and that color shirt you thought was gonna look great. Instead you looked like a monk acolyte and that shade of orange did make your skin look green. I mean, that is GREAT information. How can you not be happy and celebrate that?

Of course there is that fear of the unknown and unforeseen, is that what we are really celebrating? I think we should celebrate what we did learn and now know. I think we should celebrate personal growth and understanding. Are we glad that any mistakes that we made in the year are behind us and we don't have to ruminate over them anymore? Are we free of unjoyful tidings we learned to overcome and become better despite them? Are we lamenting the partings of people who may not of been good in our lives? No, we found in ourselves inner strengths, new truths and perhaps better understanding of how our version of happiness is what makes us be. I think that is why we need to be celebrate the Old Year, because it is celebrating ourselves and those we love, and our journey. I think celebrating what is coming as a bit premature, as you don't know how you are really going to tackle those situations. It is almost akin to getting a pat on your back for winning a game you have not yet played. I think you should get the pat on the back for the game you have played. And played well, I might add.
