In Russia New Year celebrations are major and a lot of people have some time off. For me it also means meeting with friends and following the traditions. One of said traditions is an early run on January the 1st. It is call a run of commitment or promise or resolutions. We gather with some other runners (this year due to we-all-know-what there were over 50 spots on maps of Moscow, on average there were 15 people on a run so it was easy to keep the distance), write on number plate without an actual number and run for as many meters as the new year. It actually works, well, mostly. I always write something about basement but we haven't yet did up will our desires yet. May be 2021 will make it different for my basement. My resolution trick is to write things I want to achieve but I can work on. So if I want to do something I want to move forward to completing it, even if I couldn't make it in the end, I can see how much I improved or moved forward. It makes me happy as well. I don't think I will be very active this week forward but I will try to show my face a little more online.
Have a nice day,
Lyosha
Well, this year, no meeting of friends. But we did go on a beach getaway for a change of scenery.

Happy New Year to you friend Lyosha
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely blog. Happy new year and new beginnings to you. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteKeeping a list of goals is a great way to stay on top of working towards them, even if you only make a list on the new year. Good luck on the basement, you'll get it done!
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm the same way, I don't want to make resolutions that I won't keep, but work towards something to make me feel like I've accomplished something.
ReplyDeleteI like to have wishes for the new year. And hopefully this is a good one!
ReplyDeleteHappy New YEar to you and your family :)

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Lyosha to you & your family. Have a great year ahead. Love your celebrations.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, Lyosha! I hope 2021 is amazing for you and your husband. My new year was far less exciting than yours. I spent it at home in my pajamas with my cat. Lol. But I did get to go outside and see some fireworks nearby, and I really enjoyed that. I am excited to see what this year brings for all of us.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I love this tradition, it's such a fun way to kick off the year on a positive note. We always go for our 'first day hike' where we pick a random local trail to hike with the pups. Getting out with nature has been a major source of peace and tranquility for my husband and I, so it allows us to start the year with the right mindset.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year! Wishing you the best!
