Mo's Manic Monday - Tradition
Posted: Monday, December 29, 2008 by Travis Cody in
Welcome to another Manic Monday with Morgen. Don't forget to cruise by MM HQ at the Manic Monday blog. Today's theme is Tradition.
I don't have any year end traditions.
Wait...I take it back. There is one year end tradition I have.
I'm usually asleep well before midnight. I've just never been all that much into this celebration of the turning of a new day. It's just entropy.
I'm not a new year's grinch...just a bit of a pragmatist when it comes to time. You can't stop time. You can't slow it down. You can't speed it up. It is what it is.
All you can do is make the best of the moments you have.
So, perhaps my year end tradition should be a sort of toast in the form of a haiku.
Here's to the moments
The one's past, and those to come
For they are our lives
Love the cat picture!
Boy, all of a sudden, reading your post and the mention of "celebration" and it dawned on me -New Year's Day! Where the hell is my mind? I'm thinking about the Rose Bowl, yes, the game, parade, etc. but I had forgotten all about our big tradition for New Year's Day here -pork and sauerkraut with hot dogs thossed in for good measuer too! Gotta have that for New Year's for good luck, ya know. Considering how crappy my luck has often seemed over the years, apparently I haven't eaten near enough pork and kraut I would guess, although I have given it the old college try, for sure! Other celebrating though -haven't done any of that it probably at least 10 years or better now. Sometimes many of us do grow up a little and don't feel the need to part9-hearty till you get sick or pass out any more to bring the New Year in. Took a while for that to take hold on me but eventually it did!
Happy New Year!
