Being New Year's Eve, Kathryn and I had a very brief celebration tonight. As in, we opened a bottle of Patritti (sparkling, non-alcoholic grape juice, see www.patritti.com.au) to share. Then we went to bed. It might have been almost 11:30 before we were in bed, although we hoped and planned for it to be earlier.
Kathryn had some things to do with the baby (I think), so I took my glass, the rest of the bottle, my camera and my flash into the kitchen, to try and have a play with the bubbles and Patritti.
I found the 'IKEA' brand at the bottom of the glass quite interesting - 365+. I think it's meant to indicate that their products are for everyday use. But it was fitting that this was indeed the 365th day of the year (unless you live in Samoa - news.slashdot.org/story/11/12/30/1810227/samoa-and-tokela...). New Year's has never really been much of a big deal to me - it's just another one of those 365 days (or 366 in 2012). It is an opportunity to reflect on the past year, and look forward to the coming year, but I see no reason not to do that more regularly anyway.
I do recall one time I had a New Year's resolution that was very beneficial to me and that I actually stuck to. So that was good!
But today I am grateful for everyday. Each one being a new beginning and a new opportunity to do more and be better.
