Today is the new year’s eve, according to the Hebrew calendar. The beginning of a new year is always a good opportunity for an internal check-in. New resolutions. New wishes and dreams. An opportunity to look afresh at life and re-sketch my path in it.
I enjoy pondering both on the Jewish new year and on January 1st. Exhausting any opportune moment to go back to the drawing board of life and making sure I’m not walking on the wrong path too long.
I would like to celebrate the new year with a giveaway for you!!!

I am celebrating the new year by reflecting back on the joys of being a mother and seeing the rewards as my children launch their independent lives. It’s my first year as an empty nester and as painful as it is, I know I’ve done my job and that my children’s success away from me is a true blessing.
What a beautiful way of celebrating the new year!!!
I am celebrating with friends – my close friend I. invited us all over for dinner tonight. 🙂
Shana Tova!
Shana Tova!!! We are also celebrating with friends this year. We invited them over for a traditional Rosh-Ha’Shana meal 🙂
Just stopping by to wish you L’Shana Tovah.
May the year ahead be a sweet one, filled with joy, peace and happiness.
Here we are celebrating just the 4 of us (we are far from family) and being grateful for the changes brought by this promising New Year: a new job for hubby and a new baby on the way!♥ 🙂
Congratulations!!!! Very exciting changes for the coming new year! I wish you the best of luck and a happy and sweet new year.

I celebrate my new year on March 20th which is the first day of spring and the Spring Equinox. I am Native American, and this is when I was taught to celebrate the beginning of the new year.
I do kind of celebrate it on Jan 1 by eating black eyed peas and collards with my friends who celebrate it on this date.
Thank you for sharing. It is so interesting to learn about other cultures and religions. By the way, according to the Jewish religion, around the same time, we are celebrating the new year of the trees. It is called Tu Bi’Shvat (which is the 15th of the Hebrew month os Shvat).
I celebrate the new Year on Jan 1st. Normally I am in California so at 4.00pm PST I have a glass of sherry to welcome in the New Year at British time. This year I will be here in England so can celebrate with my family at midnight.
The new year is January 1 for me. We usually try to just relax and think about our dreams for the year ahead.
I will celebrate on Jan. 1. We have 2 business that require to be open that day and will be working for most of the day. But at the end we will all be together for the begining of the new year! Thanks for the chance to win!
Celebrating with family. and goals for the new year will be to declutter our home. I have pcked too many things in this little house. Thanks for sharing your time and gifts with all of us.
I am from the State of Maine
I’m from the Hero Arts Flickr group and I hadn’t been to visit your blog. I’m so glad I finally did. Happy New Year indeed.
I’ll be adding your blog address to my blog. Have a very good rest of the year – I celebrate new year on January 1st, usually sleeping under the covers :))
The New Year is Jan. 1 for me. I think of New Year’s Eve as the year’s most romantic holiday and enjoy dating my husband on that night. However, his job has prevented us from enjoying the holiday for the last several years. This year, he should be off. Hello champagne and romance!
My fingers are crossed and I wish you and your hubby a romantic new year eve this year 🙂
I suppose now is a good time to do a check on my life and begin my long awaited wants and dreams. I’m all about being creative and I have jotted a lot of ideas in my head and in my note book but never brought it to life. This month, I will begin my walk and bring my ideas to life and see where it takes me.
Thank you for sharing 🙂
I will celebrate New Year’s Day on January 1.It is a peaceful day to reflect,sip wine and snuggle. I always begin a new journal on this day.
Happy New Year!
Celebrate the new year? I celebrate each new day….any time during the day….your new day/year/life can start at any moment.
You’ve got a fantastic approach towards life 🙂
Great blog Avital! And I love that cute circular album you created there.
Thank you very much. You are very welcome to stick around 😉
FireDad works on Jan 1st this year so we’re backing up our celebrations a day and celebrating together on the eve of the 30th (a special day to us anyway) into the 31st. Also less people at our restaurant of choice that evening. 🙂
I really enjoy reading your creativity prompts- thank you-
