    The new year

    Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
    The flying cloud,the frosty light;
    The year is dying in the night,
    Ring out,wild bells and let him die.
    -alfred L tennyson

    Past new years eves may have meant times of excessive alcohol use,
    we may have embarrassed ourselves in many ways,we may have chosen new years eve to analyse our past behaviours and write long lists of how we are going to change,

    Yet tonight is like any other night,we dont have to feel as though we aren,t having a good time unless were at a party or a bar,we can celebrate the new year tomorrow with those closest to us by doing something we enjoy.
    The past is gone,the future has not arrived
    The present is all we have,here and now

    Look to ourselves and what we want to do,not at what we think we should be doing,we can share our feelings here,spend quality time with our families and loved ones,we need to focus on ourselves and what we need to do for us,and not be diverted by the craziness around us,
    Tonight is an ending, Tonight is a beginning.

      Damn Mario,
      Thanks for the Tennyson. Talk about poetry evoking an image. I had to write it down.
      Also thanks for the sage advice. Trying to understand what a "good time" consists of for me and me alone has been one of my biggest challenges in sobriety.
      Happy New Year!
