Celebrating it with the people you love is crucial, so we did. Not at a hyped party, not the place to be in our hip and happening hometown Ghent. No, in a cosy party place tuned photo studio of some best friends of ours, who prepared a true authentic, intimate party for about 30 like minded friends. Some knew each other, others not at all. It clicked, that was so magical.
We celebrated with our kids too, we think it's normal. We want them with us when we celebrate. It felt good. Food had the simplicity and the nostalgia of the real 70 ties classics, the music & dance an eclectic mix of styles, favorite tracks and evergreens.
We started the year good.
Something more hopeful? No SMS stress at midnight, not at all. For the first time, nearly nobody bothered to start sending text messages to people you were not with, but took time to hug, kiss and wish the best to all that were present. The text messages stayed behind too, in contrast with previous years when they took over the midnight fire energy.
Thank god, we're getting back to our common sense.
Tomorrow we'll call, visit or-okay- text the ones we'd missed last night.
