This second day of 2010 and yes it seems as though 2009 sped by at break-neck speed. Did all the clutter, material and mental issues get taken care of? Nope, but some of them received at least min- imal attention. Each of us have heard the challenge of creating new resolu- tions each year some of us make them and then break them, others keep a tally and then check to see how many resolutions were actually accomplished. There are those who have New Year's superstitions and are consci- entious in acknowledging them and they follow the admonitions of such. In Scotland taking a piece of coal when first footing at New Year was not only for luck but coal used to be expensive and you were keep- ing their fire burning while visiting. Also a black cat passing your way is lucky in Scotland. In 1873 it was practiced to 'draw blood' in fishing villages on the northeast coast of Scotland under the belief that suc- cess follows. This act must be performed on New Year's Day, and the good for- tune is his only who is the first to shed blood. Some Hispanic friends coined as "impieza," a term that means to clean. One is advised to clean their homes spotless. Clean under the beds, wash the clothes ect. The most important part of this superstition is to sweep all garbage out the front door rather than distribute it to a garbage can in the house. Basically, cleaning the house of all that occurred during the passing year. To dispose of the swept up garbage in a home garbage can would not be ridding the home of the past years' experience. All this must be done before midnight. A Chinese belief is that if you wash your hair or your clothes on New Years Day. (Chinese New Year) that you wash all your good fortune away for that year. The listed superstitions are only a handful of those practiced around the world in celebration of the New Year. It seems that all of us Have some sort of practiced ritual for hol- idays each year. Poets and various celebrities have long expounded on an idea of the New Year. The following verse presents a positive charge. "A happy New Year! Grant that I… May bring no tear to any eye…When this New Year in time shall end…Let it be said I've played the friend,…Have lived and loved and labored here,…And made of it a happy year. Edgar Guest. Some deep thinking may be the medicine we need as we begin our travel into 2010. Five positive steps came across my desk to challenge my new year thinking. I will share them: 1. Decide what kind of per- son you want to be, that is your character. 2. Get over yourself. Blessedness is found in giving, not getting. Happiness is not achieved by getting what you want; it is the effect of giving what others need. 3. Do good for people in need with no expectation of return. There are both physical needs and the need for love, attention, friendship, kind- ness. 4. Forgive an old hurt. Forget a grudge. Make amends for a previ- ous slight. …Be willing to make peace in our own personal worlds. 5. Develop yourself spiritually. Spend time with the Bible and pray. You'll be amazed at the difference this process will make in your life. Visit an elderly relative or acquain- tance; mean something in the life of a child. Find agencies in the com- munity that are specifically designed to help people in need and volunteer. Welcome to new tasks and the New Year of 2010 !
