The way it works is that you make plans. You make decisions. You make resolutions. You try to get things done so that the new year can stretch before you - a clear path, a route that you plotted out in a fairly organised manner, while leaving room for the possibility of surprises, inclinations toward the unexpected. You can do it that way. Or you can just let the new year wash over you, push you or pull you along like tides or the moon. Some people get zany excited. I used to. New Year's Day was like a birthday. Some people let themselves get discouraged. Either that or overwhelmed. Or just a a little low. And then there's new year's eve.
For our part, we are exploring hitherto unexplored territory. Taking long drives into the wide expanse of country that is thi small city state. Taking the kiddies to playgrounds. Buying school supplies and snacking on dried chili pork. Watching the The Cosby Show. And taking a tip from Tita Maya - and visualising our 2007 with drawings. Oh yeah...and House. If Project Runway is is about creativity, it makes sense that House, as a medical drama, is about the human condition and what that means at this particular point in the century. Have I mentioned I am really loving House?

Apparently, this is me. Now which card are you?
You are The Wheel of Fortune
Good fortune and happiness but sometimes a species of intoxication with success
The Wheel of Fortune is all about big things, luck, change, fortune. Almost always good fortune. You are lucky in all things that you do and happy with the things that come to you. Be careful that success does not go to your head however. Sometimes luck can change.

It might interest you to know that at a certain age, none of the descriptions you make about the passing of the old year to new apply. There is only fatigue and the sheer determined will to be happy, to be glad and to remain in that midst of assorted kith and kin, and the sense of slight chaos both physical and emotional.
The New Year has always overwhelmed me with feelings, and I have wondered how people can be so gay, as though it were like any other celebration. It is gratifying to know that it is a lot of other things that you describe. I must take some time to try and describe how I feel as we await the ticking of the hours at midnight.
Thanks for this sharing.
You're welcome, Mom! Thanks for yours!
