What is your New Year's Eve ritual? I've had the same one for years now. I take about an hour to myself, sit back, and reflect on the last year. Anything that hasn't been said gets written down. Anything that hasn't been mourned is cried over. Anything that hasn't gotten the laughter is deserves is laughed at. But the ritual started with one simple idea: If you can't look back over the last year and shed tears of happiness or sadness, you should consider your whole year emotionless and wasted. I've started the ritual a little early this year, as in, yesterday...and my year has definitely not been wasted.
Things to cry over:
1. Dayton re-proposing in the Fed-ex/Kinko's parking lot.
2. Dayton actually taking the time to design my new engagement ring.
3. Any of the sweet cards Dayton hasn't given me this year
4. The disconnect with my sister
5. Mine and Dayton's anniversary
6. Still not being able to move past 2009
7. The late night talks Dayton and I have had that have brought out the vulnerability in both of us.
8. The things I uncovered (especially about myself) while doing research for an abortion paper.
These are my top 8. I'm sure I'll think of more later. Stay tuned for more "Bests of 2010" lists...
