Were you counting down to midnight as 2011 ended and 2012 began? And now that we’re a few days into the new year, are you thinking about how you’d like to live your life in the days and months ahead?
This clock on the side of a Toronto pub is permanently halted at a moment of enjoyment—Guinness Time. Do you think when we are most fully alive in the present, we are transcending the relentless ticking of clocks? At least temporarily?
I don’t have a definitive answer, but I can offer this: whatever transports you and enlivens you and makes you an all-round better human being, may you enjoy those things wholeheartedly in the year to come. Happy New Year!

While watching the count down on TV in Paris, I was thinking that my 2011 was not over yet, there was another 6 hours to go ;) It had been an enjoyable year for me.
Thank you and wish you all the best!
Happy New Year!

Hi Andy,
Wow, beginning the new year in Paris… I’m envious! It must have felt funny to say goodbye to 2011 a few hours in advance. I stayed up long enough to watch Calgary’s countdown.
Happy New Year to you too!
