On the eve of another calendar year beginning it is a nice idea to give over a portion on the last day to being grateful for all that you received during the year. Marking the end of a year is a way of seeing it out and taking the time to acknowledge how things are going in your life and reassessing how you would like to move forward is a beneficial way to start a new one. Whether you do this during meditation or whilst having a celebratory bubble bath, swim in the ocean or whatever takes your fancy, you can use the time to mark what a special day the end of 2009 is. It’s a bit like a wrap party on a film set or big project; drawing a line under all your hard and celebrating the success of it all.
How this is done is personal and you should do it in a way that makes it important to you; in a way that carries meaning. Whether it is big or small is beside the point as it is the symbolism that it carries for you which is of importance.
So have a think over the next day or so and see what you would like to do. If you are working or busy on the 31 December you still have time afterwards or even before to do something or you could imbue your whole day with the spirit you wish to mark.
A few ideas to get you thinking:
Make a list if you like of all the great things that happened to you during 2009 as well as all the things you achieved then congratulate yourself.
Cook a nice dinner for yourself and family or friends and chat about the year you have all had.
Do something that you wanted to do all year but never got around to as a send off to the year and to remind you in the coming year to get on with things.
Go for a drive somewhere and take in how wonderful nature can be and sit for a while and remember your year.
I am sure you will have some other fantastic suggestions of your own that are personal to you. Whatever you decide to do, do it with your whole heart.
Enjoy
