To me, having a Happy New Year means looking forward to good things to come, or for a better year than the one we'er leaving. In essence, Having a Happy New Year is clearly a universal thought that is circulated throughout the world. In preparations for the upcoming New Year, everyone at least adhere to some of the customs. For instance, house cleaning; getting rid of all the old stuff that is no-lomger being used, so that you coud replace it with something new. In my case, that means some serious cleaning (I mean getting down on all fours). Let us be reminded of the fact that our old stuff, is another person's new stuff. I advise everyone to utilize your local drop-off centers to assure that the less fortunate is provided for. Another custom shared is making sure that you at least have a dollar in the stash when the New Year comes around, so that continued finacial needs are met. For some that is a difficult thing to accomplish. Let us all be reminded that every year in this country, tens of thousands of people; men, women, and children, are without finacial security. They are hungry, they have no shelter, and they are not concerned about saving a dollar for tomorrow. This year has been a wonderful year for our entertainment industry, ED Lover quoted that fact. I hope that with new gained wealth, we have put a small portion aside, to be generated to help those that are less fortunate. Remember that the ultimate deed that anyone could achieve in this world is to look beyond one's self. I will have a Happy New Year, but I wish all Mankind a Happy New Year just the same......
