Well I see CNN is having a "live" dropping of the ball. I'll probably tune in for the count, but it won't be New Year here. At least I'll see the countdown. I have a feeling I won't be up til midnight either. TIS

Happy New Year East Coast friends. Watched countdown with Anderson Cooper on CNN. They are playing New York, New York now. Everyone looks happy and no snow. I truly hope everyone has a wonderful year TIS

The ball is suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the new year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by. To remember both our triumphs and our missteps, our promises made and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures or closed ourselves down for fear of getting hurt 'cause that is what new years is all about- getting another chance. A chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And stop worrying about what if and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at midnight and it will drop, let's remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just tonight but all year long

Everyone rise & shine on this beautiful first day of 2012!! Anyone hung over? Anyone go to or have a good party? Me, I was in bed by 10:00 but saw the ball drop in NYC at 9:00 my time, so I did see what was going on. Up early today though. I'm having the kids over so I'm slaving over the hot stove. Everyone have a great day and a wonderful 2012 TIS

Luckily the world didn't end in 2012 like some people thought. That's not supposed to happen until December 2012

January 1st, 2012 03:00 PM ET 15 faith-based predictions for 2012To ring in the New Year, CNN's Belief Blog asked experts in religion, faith leaders, and a secular humanist about how the forces of faith and faithlessness will shape the world in 2012. Here's what they told us: 1. The Republican Party will tap Mitt Romney as its presidential nominee, and America will finally have its "Mormon moment." As evangelicals try to figure out whether they can support a president who practices Mormonism, the rest of us will try to figure out whether Mormonism is a cult, a form of Christianity, or something in between. Meanwhile, visitors to Marriott hotels will finally crack open some of those nightstand copies of The Book of Mormon. –Stephen Prothero, Boston University religion professor and regular CNN Belief Blog contributor http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/01/12-faith-based-predictions-for-2012/?hpt=hp_c2
