"Here's to the bright New Year, and a fond farewell to the old;
here's to the things that are yet to come, and to the memories that we
hold." -- Anonymous
New Year, New Life! To not jinx the new year and being true to tradition, every end of the year we strictly follow a ritual at the stroke of
midnight to enter the New Year on the right foot: wearing something white or
blue or wearing something new, jumping on the chair, eating raisins or lentils,
jumping from a bridge or swimming on cold waters to wash away the evil, just to
name a few. These rituals are part of cultural and religious beliefs, to each
country their own.
What would you like 2014 to bring you? The arrival of a new year brings high hopes and prospects of a better life
and of new opportunities. It is
time to reflect on ones actions and behaviors in the past year and to make
promises of positive changes in one’s life. Without further ado, let’s get a sheet of
paper and pen and wisely note down this year’s resolutions, hopefully achievable
ones. With a little luck we will not fall
into old habits.
SLE went around Second Life asking residents what are their New Year resolutions?
Thank
you all for participating.
