I believe they call what is happening to me right now "Writer's Block." Dah. I hate you. I have a million things I'm dying to get out but I don't even know where to begin.
I'll just start by saying thank you to my wonderful friends who brought the new year in with me. I seriously had the best NYE I have ever had. I was incredibly nervous, because honestly, the plan was either a recipe for disaster or the best weekend ever. It was definitely the latter. I really cannot express how special this past weekend was. It's an amazing thing to be with people who span all different parts of your life at the exact same time, and on top of that go smoothly. WOW! I was so nervous, but now I am just so so happy! Of course, I have a list of people I wish could have been there as well, but I guess sometimes you just can't have it all.
"Rules are meant to be broken" took on a whole new meaning this weekend, and even so all I can do is wonder how in the world I got to be so lucky. Even though we all have different stories, different relationships, and incredibly different beliefs I really am in love everyone I was with this weekend. When it comes down to it, what more can you ask for on New Year's Eve? Thank you, thank you, thank you #2012MidnightSociety ...... let's do it again next year.
In past years, I have said that whatever song is playing after the countdown is the theme song for that year. Past songs include: "PYT," "Flashing Lights," "Superstar" and a few others. (I probably should have ended when it was "Bad Romance" but it didn't.) This year, I have no idea what song played. All I can hear are my friends counting down, screaming HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! and then screams of joy and laughter. Literally. So that's what it is...my theme song for 2012 - my dear, dear friends hollering with excitement, eagerness, playfulness, and lots and lots of love. If my little theme song tradition truly does set the tone for my year then bring it on. I'll definitely take as much of that as the world can give.
But, really how did I get so lucky?
