Well, that really wasn't true for me. You see, I was at a party with about 20 others, having many adult beverages. But sometime around 2am, it became quiet once my head hit the pillow.
Seems the proper way to ring in the new year is to cheer, shout and clap - putting the drink down for that brief moment of celebration - and then say your thanks and goodbyes to the host of the party.
As we get older, we tend to shorten our celebrations. Once a year is fine. A birthday is another occasion, but is almost always a quieter affair than the stroke of midnight on Jan 1st.
But cheer and joy and laughter, regardless of the time of the year, should never be silenced. There should always be something to smile about in your life.
And that's the general idea of what I want to make happen in 2011. So when the clock hits 11:59pm on Dec. 31, 2011, I want to have more cheers and not so many tears.

Hoping for a happier year for all of us. This one was definitely fraught for a lot of us, it seems - I'm tired and working toward a sense of renewed energy, among other things. I wish you the best of everything you're hoping for, Marty. Be well!
