Even before we found out about Revels in our family, and the winter Solstice tradition, we were way into New Year customs. My best friend, Caty's godmother, Alice, told us about sweeping out the house on New Year's Eve and about throwing pennies out the doors and windows.It's a new year, for Pete's sake.
If now isn't a good time to make changes, when would a better time be?
It's cold out - at least in Boulder. You're not going to go for a bike ride, not unless you're one of our local maniacs who cycles in all weathers, ice be damned. It's a good time to think about what you'd like to do differently - and what you'd like to leave the same.
I know, some people aren't into resolutions.
Call them goals, call it visioning, whatever you call it, isn't this the time?
What to keep and what to sweep away, this year?

Are you a long lost sister, or something? You and I think alike... I even blogged about the same thing!
As for your question...As I pack away the holiday decorations each year, I always ask myself: "When I unpack these next year, what will have happened in my life?"
It always gives me a sense having a whole new year to make my life everything I want it to be, and a reassurance that no matter what, when I unpack those decorations next year, I will still have people who love me and whom I love. Those are the kinds of thoughts that give me great hope and energy this time of year.
Happy New Year,
