One Down, 365 Left

This new year's eve celebration was my comeback after quite a few years. Yes, I have had about three years in which I absolutely didn't do anything on the night before the new year, like no celebrating it at all. I guess you can call that depression, or whatever, it doesn't matter that much. This year was different, and 2020 sounds a bit better.

I went to some friends to celebrate and I managed to last in there till five o'clock in the morning. Wasn't expecting to do that as I was forecasting something like around 2:00 AM going to sleep. The vibe was nice though, the food really good, and the wine made miracles. I usually drink rarely, and I can't drink like I did in high-school and college anymore.

Last night though I think I had some four glasses of wine and although I mixed the white with the red one I felt good. No headaches, no stomach aches, or anything similar and related to hangovers. It simply enhanced my good mood and came like a charm to all the food that we had and the nice gathering mood.

I assume that it happens pretty much the same way almost all around the world, where the new year is celebrated. Probably monks have some other type of celebrating, but we, the normal ones, have pretty much common habits when it comes to throwing the old one away and embracing the new. I regret not buying fireworks though. Yes, I really used to love them when I was a kid and I didn't think to buy any for this year. I guess I left too much on my friends to take care of...

After seeing what nice fireworks the others had on the South side of the town I felt a bit of envy towards them and I wished we had some as well. When being a teenager, and even when we were kids, they surely wouldn't miss on a new year's eve. We grew up too much I guess... and they aren't a priority anymore.

It was nice though to celebrate again, this time of the year, and although I thought I would feel very tired after that it actually didn't happened. I woke up at 11:30 and then idled myself till felt asleep again, and woke at 13:30, almost exactly two hours after, so I have quite some hours of sleep. Can't compare these with night sleeping, but I feel pretty good in the new year.

I didn't skip my daily walk, and I am proud of that. I feel like holding to some new year's resolutions that I actually don't have. Never had such resolutions and never will, I have some general things that I am aware of needing to improve and take care of, but nothing nailed or having deadlines tied to. I don't want to have anything stressed out.

Now I am pretty sure that I won't have a second party this evening and that I will probably go to bed before mid night and it's fine. With an extra hour of sleep I could manage to put the new year's eve on repeat but really don't feel like. I'm fine with what I have and I am also pretty proud of myself for putting some words on this blog in the first out of the 366 days that 2020 has prepared for us. How was your new year's eve celebration?

Thanks for attention,
