ringing out the old year

Every year in the big apple, i ask "what are you people thinking?" who crowd into times square (TS) waiting for the ball to drop:  free music and entertainment perhaps, a chance to bond with fellow revelers, the euphoria of a new beginning and the irrepressible spirit -  we're still standing!

Bravo!  i applaud you and wish you all a fortuitous new year.  Bur for those who choose to ring in a jubilant new year without the insanity and time commitment of the dense TS crowd, may i suggest Central Park at midnight for the free and fabulous fireworks.  We shared desert and champagne leading up to midnight with friends and then strolled to the park together where there was plenty of space for all.  Our neighbors in the park released glorious Chinese lanterns that soared above the tree tops.  We cheered on the runners in the park as they passed and smiled at the children blowing their party horns.  I felt a sense of unity amongst those gathered together that i hope will linger.

We are in this together my friends, happy healthy new year!
Me Melinda
