Very belated New Years post

Welcomed into the New Year with laughter, fun and joy. The celebration was held with family, fireworks and drinks. Gambling with cousins, lucky streaks, bankruptcy. It was a kodak-moment event; laughter and the sound of clinking glasses filled the air, conversation never running short, glasses never empty. Cards, coins and notes tossed onto the table, only to be used to buy more drinks. Fireworks lit up the sky, the lights danced a dance of happiness, new roads, new chances, new beginnings. The dancers faded into the night sky, disappeared behind their dark curtains and left their audience with an awed silence...

and the hope of a New Year.
