I love New Years
Eve. I love the excuse to stay up until midnight on a Monday night and have one
glass too many of champagne. I
have only gone to bed one time before the clock stroke the midnight hour on New
Years Eve in my adult life and my excuse was a good one; I was very pregnant
and couldn’t cheers in the New Year with a glass of champagne so I gave in to
sleep. My husband does not share my enthusiasm of the joy of the end of the
year but tries his best to appease me by staying up watching marathons of Sons of Anarchy or Breaking Bad, but his heart is just not in like mine is.
The reason behind
this infatuation with ringing in the New Year is my optimistic belief that the
New Year can only bring good changes.
The opening of a new calendar with three hundred and sixty-five fresh days
to make better choices, love my loved ones even more, and be a better mom, wife,
and friend feels invigorating. I
want to take on the challenges that have weighed me down in the last year and
knock them down one by one in the New Year. The truth is that the New Year
reminds me of what I already know, I have the power and positivity to change my
future for the better.
I am sure for
those of you in my husband’s camp, those who would rather sleep through the
hullabaloo of the New Year, think that my positive attitude is annoying and to
those people I say: hit the bricks! I like, wait correction, love New Years Eve and
you better believe that December 31st at midnight I will be standing
with a champagne glass in my hand, counting down from ten, and tearing up at
all the thoughts of great things I will do in 2013. I cannot be the only one who feels this optimistic on the
eve of the New Year….can I?
