I've done it again

A song was playing on the radio today.

I've never been one to take much notice of lyrics but sometimes the words penetrate my foggy consciousness and I try to figure out what is being sung.

Welcoming the New Year with love, forgiveness and laughter

We welcomed New Year’s Eve with a mixture of forgiveness, love and laughter. 

This year we decided to spend it alone. Over the years this celebration has palled. There are only so many street parties, fireworks displays, dinner parties, etc. that a person can get fired up about. It all seems to ‘same old, same old’.

The welcoming of 2013 seemed an appropriate time (although we did not know it at the time) to release old baggage, express apologies and create a space of forgiveness, love and laughter. It all happened rather spontaneously…looking back I can see how beautifully it was orchestrated by our hearts and souls.
