just some thoughts on the last day of the year~~

2014 is winding down.....  we are on the count down.....
my grandson is visiting & he finds it immensely humorous that this is the last day of the year.... 
& it gives me pause to reflect on my own childhood sense of the seasons, holiday celebrations, the days & how they flowed into the year.... & that magical moment when one year turned into another.... i do remember one year actually going outside to see if i could see the old man leave & the new baby arrive....
i remember seeing pictures & signage or decorations of the elder & the baby with the numbers of the given years decorated across them.....
i often wondered what became of the old man,where he went, & no one seemed to talk about him as a person, or that no one seemed to give much care to the poor baby after the first day.....or perhaps it was due to the fact of how the infant so quickly matured,i guess being a year or a number does that to these imaginary folks.... & yet.... if we collectively  have seen them as such>>>> & it is up to us to care for the infant new year as it grows thru the year..... how we each choose to do this i guess is uniquely up to each of us & how we bid our time & care & nurture ourselves & our time
& perhaps these imaginary folks we created to depect the years actually reside in the ethers, as thought forms...
perhaps~~~
so i can see this group of old men, sitting around the table chatting about their own personal years' given "accomplishments", or perhaps their disasters... reflecting remembering reminiscing~~
  and really who is it that cares for all those little infant years.... & how quickly they shift & change.....
& yes it is humanity that creates, & sustains & in turn, ignores  the person-hood we have given the years/numbers..... such as it is....
or perhaps these imaginary ""folks of the year"" we have created, are a depiction of how we feel at years end.... the new year is all so fresh & new full of hopes & dreams & intentions & ideas.....
  & then at years end, as we pause & ponder... we are weary of all that we have been thru during the year....  & really we have the choice in how we view all of this....  old new young aged fresh well used.... whatever.... keep in mind we choose... it is how we envision....how we choose......

so for me personally the year 2014 is marked & cataloged in the files of my being as one of some huge transitions..... 
yup & all in all they have been good....
2014 was a year of finding
change does no always come gentle upon us....
perhaps does no always come out of the blue either.....
i do know >>>we create change,
in our own unique ways of being & doing & thinking.....
&&& we each adapt & adjust in those same unique ways.....
there is an old custom or maybe it is a new notion.... ( you choose)
of purchasing a new broom for the new year..... sweeping out all the nooks & crannies cracks & crevasses of your homespace the last hour of the last day of the passing year with the old broom....
& then ceremoniously hanging the old broom outside & using the new broom to sweep in all the goodness & blessings of the incoming new year... as it arrives on the winds of change & the wings of time~
i like the whole idea & notion of this... & it has been some time since i purchased a new broom i also like the idea of smudging at the change of the years.... an intentional action of letting go of the old to clear for the incoming new~~~~~
so as 2014 is winding down & 2015 is approaching...
i send you my blessings to add to your own incoming....
may your hopes & dreams manifest in the most beautiful & joyful ways...
may the doors of abundance open with ease for you May love flow freely & joyfully to you at all times & in all ways~~~
thanks with deep gratitude 2014 for all the growth & lessons learned....
happy happy newness freshness 2015 i look forward to what you bring my way~~
