It's New Years Eve and Im feeling pretty wonderful. I've been chosen to work a private party at my job. In case you aren't familiar, I work at a restaurant in the heart of times square- and we happen to have the perfect view of the ball drop.
So, here I am, looking down at thousands of people, cozy and comfortable, and rockin out. The night goes by in waves, there are so many happy people, lots of dancing, and nothing but laughing and smiling. We are all ecstatic.
The time has come, the last few minutes of 2010 (good riddance), most of our guests have gone outside to our private pen to watch the ball drop first hand, so its mostly me and my coworkers upstairs. And then one of the most magical New York moments happens, the dj is playing my song. I grab my dear friend and we begin dancing. He twirls me around and we sing the familiar lyrics to each other, our other coworkers doing the same. And I get a little teary eyed and I think about this past year and all the good and bad and everything I've ben through and the insane amount of awful things I've put off thinking about and the beautiful moments of love I've experienced, and its almost a new year, a new decade. And then we all join in and sing, "If you can make it here, you'll make it anywhere, New York, New York."
And then the countdown to a new year begins.
