I'm making my participation in HOL as a Ravenclaw one of my new things in this new 2017.
Each year there are highs and lows, but for me 2016's lows outnumbered its highs. (Sounds as though Elena agrees.) Part of the lows comes from the loss of Alan Rickman, David Bowie, Carrie Fisher. On a more personal note, my best friend Clark and one of my most inspiring English teachers also left this mortality. Not to mention a breakup, a job lost and a broken-down car. Gratefully, my network of family and friends is pretty fantastic and extremely supportive. "Keep Moving Forward," There are high hopes for 2017.
I don't have a regular New Years tradition, other than I usually try to dance. I am a little spontaneous, and this year found me first with family making my nephews a grand blanket fort and playing He-Man Uno, then a service project, dance party and running from the dance party to a pool party 30 minutes before midnight ! I made a new friend, exchanged digits; ate too many spring rolls, sour cream and onion crisps, and believe it or not broccoli; got waterlogged and partially frozen. No kiss at midnight but that's only occurred twice in my life and weren't special. Funny seeing it typed out like that.
