Next Year at New Year's

We rung in the New Year with friends - but without our Little Bit. When the clock struck, I realized that what I really wanted was to be with her.

The superstition of ringing in the New Year is that you spend the year with whomever you ring it in with. So, symbolically, I made a choice that put friends over family. And I felt pretty sad about it.

Of course, I'll spend most of my year with Little Bit. But for some reason, it made me very sad not to be able to peak in on her, sleeping peacefully, after midnight.

So next year, we'll make a choice that includes her, even if it means just staying home.
