I don't do anything in par...What a great idea!<br /><br />I don't do anything in particular to celebrate the ending of one year, however, it ALWAYS leaves me with a grateful heart. Grateful that I have survived a thousand little things (and a few Big Ones!) that I thought I couldn't--and as an optimist, I am always eagerly anticipating the new year ahead.<br /><br />I lost some good friends this year and my son joined the Army. But I survived those heartaches. And my soul is at peace. For that, I am very grateful.<br />Grateful for you as well.Sherri Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536108320748561406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-62213777405217717052010-12-22T16:31:52.425-05:002010-12-22T16:31:52.425-05:00Diane,

I like the idea of these three lists. I might try something similar this evening.<br /><br />Since my husband works this evening, we can't celebrate together. But I'll string up Christmas lights around the front door and leave them lit so he'll be greeted by them when he returns at 2:30 a.m.Rachel Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-90878256552390131872010-12-17T06:52:14.796-05:002010-12-17T06:52:14.796-05:00I have always loved the idea of the New Year!!

Maybe it has to do with getting older and all my striving for success, etc, being behind me. I'm in more of a coast mode now, but there are still things I would like to send up to the Universe and, thanks to this wonderful post, I think I'll do just that.<br /><br />Merry Christmas, Dianeinjaynesworldhttp://injaynesworld.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-84172277569412969072010-12-16T20:41:43.154-05:002010-12-16T20:41:43.154-05:00I haven't ever marked the solstice although it...I haven't ever marked the solstice although it's always in the back of my mind as that was the day we had our marriage blessed in England. I love your tradition and seems like it would be very liberating. I have been thinking this year of all the let go's I need to do and all the regrouping I need to do in 2011. Your post have given me food for thought... it's definitely a year for change in this household. xxxMcGillicuttyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189766575346565435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-81359053534574537582010-12-16T17:44:38.847-05:002010-12-16T17:44:38.847-05:00those are great! what a lovely ritual...me, I go s...those are great! what a lovely ritual...me, I go sliding into new year's eve with an exhausted WHUMPPPPFFF....then I get on a plane a couple of days later and start all over again.......sighSSPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358246374080080885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422526707436212403.post-242536076994607842010-12-16T16:49:21.787-05:002010-12-16T16:49:21.787-05:00that's a nice ritual.
