As is customary in the Broadhurst house, the papa bear was away for New Years Eve. This left me and young Michael to ring in 2012, and with great celebration, we did!We dressed with style and hit the M Resort, which is right down the road from us. We were the best-dressed, classiest pair in the joint, and with an attitude of gratitude, we recounted the blessings of the past year and enjoyed massive amounts of lobster and steak.
Following our gluttony, we made an appearance at a friend's party and then returned home for a Rock Band extraordinaire. 2012 came roaring in, as we sat at the end of our street and watched the EIGHT fireworks displays coming from atop casinos on the Strip. It was beautiful, and only made better by the neighbors shooting off sparklers from their front yards.
What a night, and what a new year.
In years past, I have not made New Years Resolutions, but instead have come up with a "mantra" to remember throughout the year. Several years ago, it was "live in the moment" to remind me to not be distracted by all that is going on around me, or the past mistakes or the future to-do list, but instead to live in the here and now. Next was to "choose joy," as I hoped to be in control of my outlook and emotions of life. I choose to be joyous in all things and celebrate instead of dwelling. Last year was to live with an "attitude of gratitude," hence this blog.
Now I am stuck with trying to come up with a theme for 2012. Any suggestions?
