I wanted to say "the ending of an era" but that's not true. "The ending of the year" or "the ending of 2013" just doesn't sound as cool. I could have said "2013 it's finally over!" Last year I was the one saying I didn't understand why people were saying good riddance to 2012 and so ready for the new year. I enjoyed 2012. Well, this year it is I loudly declaring, "Good riddance 2013!"
I'm ready for 2014. I think subconsciously I'm even more ready for 2014 than I realize. A couple weeks a go I was writing checks and wrote the year as 14. Oops. Haha!
So now is the point where I'm supposed to reflect back on 2013 but I'd rather not. Instead of reflecting I tend to only single out the bad moments (or months) and ruminate on them. What's past is past. Let's leave it there and try to move on. For clarification, that's not to say there were no good moments at all in 2013. It's just that it seems the bad outweighed the good and I'm ready for a new year.
It's weird to think in many places, actually by now over half the world, is already in 2014. Our world right now is living in 2 different years! Crazy.
