As the ball gets ready to drop in 17 minutes at Times Square in New York City, I want to take this time to wish you all a Happy New Year. May your celebrations tonight and tomorrow be safe and joyous. May the new year bring you all the blessings that you ask. May peace come to this world soon.
As the celebration winds down this morning, remember to find a designated driver to carry your family and friends back to their homes or hotels safely. Keep warm in the frigid temperatures by dressing appropriately in layers.
Give thanks for the freedom and abundance that we enjoy in America and keep those who suffer in your New Year's resolution asking a blessing of healing in their families and in their countries. As part of my New Year's resolution, I am asking that wars end in my daily prayers and putting forth effort to share that message to as many people as I am able.
Enjoy the traditions that this great land has brought to us all. Have a wonderful day on January 1, 2009 and may it be an example of a good year to come.
Does anyone know how the tradition of singing "Auld Lang Syne" began and when?
