Reflections on New Year’s Eve by Hillary DePiano


Life goes by so very fast, my dears, and taking the time to reflect,
even once a year, slows things down. We zoom past so many seconds,
minutes, hours, killing them with the frantic way we live that it’s
important we take at least this one collective sigh and stop, take
stock, and acknowledge our place in time before
diving back into the melee.

Midnight on New Year’s Eve is a unique kind of magic where, just
for a moment, the past and the future exist at once in the present.
Whether we’re aware of it or not, as we countdown together to it,
we’re sharing the burden of our history
and committing to the promise of tomorrow.

Happy New Year
