» Out with the old, in with the new
Having a birthday on the last day of the year gives me a slightly different outlook than most people because when the clock strikes 12:01 on January 1st, I will literally be a year older in a whole new year.
With this comes certain rituals. I am mere pages away from finishing a journal and will begin anew on the 1st. I will continue to work on my “Manifestation” list for 2012 – a bucket list of sorts which isn’t only about what I want to accomplish in the new year, but also who I wish to be. It is also a time when I like to select a single word to set a specific for the new year, words like: Positive, Abundance, Focus, Clarity, Presence, and Joy all come to mind. I will also “look back down the mountain” to remember my experiences from 2011.
A trip to the river, a last mandala, a smile as I turn forward and continue looking ahead.
Happy New Year everyone! See you next year!

I read and re-read this post to see if I was not understanding the comment correctly but unless I am missing something you are only a day older on the first, your birthday is on the 31st so that is when you turn a year older. Right?
It would be neat to have a birthday on wither of those days… Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday for today and Happy New Year for tomorrow. May both the days and the year for good for you.
What a fabulous post! A Big, Warm, Happy Birthday and Happy Newest Year!! Do you do a Manifestation list for every year? Cool idea. I’ve done Credos in the past…statements of things I Believe In–which include everything from “keeping a few lumps in the mashed potatoes and applesauce” to “simple joy, generous love, and soothing mercy.”
Be Well!
Kim thank you & Happy New Year to you as well! – this is my 2nd such list and I suppose I also do Credos, who I am and what I believe. :o)
Thank you Wendy! Happy New Year to you as well!
