The-5

I hope you have plans. Mine are pretty boring but I need rest more than anything else these days. So my husband and I are staying home.We’ll watch the ball drop on tv if I’m able to stay up. Last year we started 2015 in a nice restaurant where there were samba dancers, belly dancers, flamenco dancers. We ate out with friends and that would have been how we started 2016. This year we chose to stay home. It’s good and peaceful. I’m happy with the choice. The less pushing and shoving of a crowd is better for me.

With 2016 I have a lot of plans already. It’s going to be life changing. It’s going to be epic and great.

With writing I’ll get more books written and published.

With the rest of it, well there is a huge element of faith. Everything will be fine. Nothing can stay the same and we have to go with the flow. I’m happy this is the major shakeup and how I’m starting 2016. Everything is going to be great. With this mantra and faith, what better way to ring in the New Year.

I hope your New Year is great and that you’re making big declarations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I enjoy New Year’s Eve without going out to a crowded party?

Staying home on New Year’s Eve can be a peaceful and fulfilling alternative to crowded events. You can watch the ball drop on TV, rest, and reflect on the year ahead. For people who need recovery time or simply prefer quiet celebrations, a low-key night at home offers comfort without the stress of pushing through large crowds.

What are good New Year’s resolutions or intentions to set for the coming year?

Meaningful New Year’s intentions often combine practical goals with a mindset of faith and flexibility. Examples include committing to creative projects like writing and publishing books, embracing major life changes, and adopting a ‘go with the flow’ mantra. Making bold declarations while staying open to uncertainty can set a positive, motivated tone for the year ahead.

Is it better to go out to a restaurant for New Year’s Eve or stay home?

Both options have merit depending on your circumstances. Going out to a restaurant with friends and entertainment like samba, belly, or flamenco dancers can be festive and memorable. However, staying home is a better choice when you need rest, prefer peace, or want to avoid crowds. Personal well-being and comfort should guide the decision over social expectations.
