Happy New Year. I have been trying to get to this today because I have a lot to say. I want to talk about whats happened in this last year as I always do, and I also want to talk about what Im doing tonight. I have a bunch of things written down but not ready to post, so I will finish this tomorrow with an entry on January 1, 2017, however the one thing that I want to have with the date stamped 2016 is this.
This is the year Im letting go. Im doing what Anne Marie, Luke, Dave and I did on New Years Eve of 2011. We sat out by my fire pit, wrote things down on pieces of paper and burned them. Some we read allowed, some we read to ourselves. Some were about what we wanted to let go of, and some were about things we wanted to change for the better. The burning symbolically puts the good things into the universe and releases the bad things.
Im going to a party at my sisters house tonight with Anne Marie, and I've already told her that at some point, (it may be past midnight but its OK), were doing that again.
Its raining so the odds are a little against a fire, but if I have to pull out my damn grill at 2 AM its happening.
Tomorrow I will post the huge massive mess this year was, and I will end it with what I wrote down and burned tonight save one thing. Mike Douglas. For 5 New Years Eves in a row I've written his name and I want this to be the last, and if not, let it be because I have succeeded in letting him go from my heart.
Happy New Year. I sincerely hope and, really KNOW in my heart I can make things turn around this year. I will NEVER give up!
Cheers!
