How do you spend the last day of the year?
I am not a partier. I am normally home, watching movies or one of the shows showing celebrations around the country, and snacking. When I was little, I would spend the night with my paternal great grandmother and we would watch the ball drop. Other than staying with her, I can probably count on one hand the number of times I was not at my own house relaxing on New Year's Eve. Tonight, I know I won't make it until midnight.
How do you feel about ending the year and starting a new one?
Many people look at it as ending one chapter and starting another or wiping the slate clean to begin anew. I don't see it that way. Maybe it is because I am in education, and our year runs August to August instead of January to December. I can't just wipe the slate clean and start anew when I am in the middle of a professional year.
Sometimes, I just want to ignore the idea of ending and beginning and just think of it as another day. I don't set goals or create resolutions, so really the day is just like any other. Looking back can be sad or joyous, depending on the year. Looking ahead can be scary because of the unknown.
One of my BFFs posted the following:
I really struggle with this, so this is a verse I plan to revisit this year. I have faith and believe in God. He is in control, and all things happen through Him. He knows His plan for me (and family members), and I need to let go of my plans and let His prevail.
This goes back to what I wrote earlier in this post. I guess my professional book begins each August, but my personal book can begin each January 1st. I wonder what God has in store for me this year.
