Happy New Year?

New Year’s Eve! It’s and ending! A new beginning! Or just another ordinary day. My son who’s 5 sees this day as a Great Birthday Celebration. But it’s not his, or anyone elses we know for that matters – It’s the Years Birthday!  I think that’s an awesome way to look at it. We’re just going to be home and enjoy the family’s and the children’s company. Have some nice food, eat some snacks. Watch other people shoot fireworks and end the evening in a big bundle in the sofa and watch a good movie, while the children are laying over us like little monkeys and sleeping safe and sound. It might not seem so fancy pancy, but it’s the greatest way we know to celebrate new year’s! “Oh, but you should DO something…” my friends tell me. I mean even my soon to be retired father and his wife are having friends over and they’re making three course dinners and they bought new clothes and are going to dress up, and they fixed some nice bubbles and are going to make drinks and…and…and… like all, and I mean seriously Everyone, that I have talked to today, who has great plans for this magical evening – are sooo stressed!! It doesn’t matter that I started to phone my best friends, my aunties, cousins, siblings, and others that I want to wish a happy new year early this morning. Or early and early, but around 11, that’s lunchtime at least. I wanted to call ahead, when I thought that they might have a few minutes over, but nope. Some were out doing last minute errands like thousand others. Some I couldn’t hear at all because they were vacuuming at the same time, and their hair was wet because they just stepped out of the shower and they needed to check if the champagne that their spouse bought was a good one – I mean they can’t serve whatever, when people are coming over. And they slip on the wet floor, because their wet hair has been dripping and I can hear him/her sliiiiiiide through the kitchen towards the hot oven where the premium beef is slow cooking…and, yeah, boom. I just said love you, bye very loudly, and hung up! And called the next one on my list. From lunchtime until now, it haven’t matterd who I’ve called, no one had more than a minute or two to spare. Because to night is the night, it’s new years eve! It needs to be fantastic, (or at least better than most average people). -NEEEW YEEARS!!!!!- Well, put me on the “most average people” list, if it makes this day any easier for you. What I mean is; lower your expectations! But don’t misunderstand me. For me, my day isn’t boring, I’m not doing nothing. I do exactely what I (!) want and I am having a great time! And I do understand all of you who is dressing up to your teeth, and making fabulous Michelin dinners and Hors-d'œuvres, and decorating the tables for you and your guests. It’s nice! I have enjoyed those kinds of new year’s myself – the key word being ENJOYED! When it all just started to feel little bit overwhelming and stressful than fun, we stopped. When people told me in one breath, they’re having guests over and then started telling me in the next, that they didn’t really want this person who talks or gossips too much to come, or that person who drinks too much, or that person who always ate too much not caring if it was enough for the other guests, who were there and blah blah blah… I was telepathically trying to scream to them that; You don’t have to do this! That’s not a H.a.p.p.y New Year! To all of you out there, whatever you’re doing, sincerely - I wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! I wish you are calm, and relaxed and satisfied over your choice to spend today. With yourselves and your company. Or maybe you’re working. Good for you! It’s ok. It’s a New Year e v e r y year. I don’t do new year resolutions. But this year I’ll make an exception: Next year I’m going to be even greater than this year. I want to eat more fruit. Keep on healing. Inspire more people, and fulfil another dream. I have lots of dreams! Some are big big dreams, like Dream Dreams! Some are small, like accomplishable, but they are the most important though. They give me energy to keep on striving towards the bigger ones. What’s your goals for the next year? What's your dreams?  Whatever they are - I hope you are going after them! ❤
