Hello all, 
Every NYE since my life turned upside down (this will be year 16), I attend a NYE service called the Burning Bowl.I thought I would share, as some of you may find benefit.   Basically the service is as follows: a positive spiritual talk from a great speaker about reflecting on the past year, followed by a listing of everything you want to let go of.  You write it on a piece of paper, and physically take the paper (flash paper) up to a large bowl where you watch it poof into a flame and disintegrate.  It's incredibly powerful.  After, you reflect on the coming year by writing a letter to yourself with promises of what you want it to be.  In 6 months, that letter you penned is mailed to you.  I've always found this to be incredibly cleansing.  
One of my favorite authors, Paulo Coehlo, wrote a prayer of forgiveness, which I read silently during the time I've burned everything I need to let go of.  There are often tears.  I'll share the prayer as well (long but worth it). 

Prayer of Forgiveness-from Paulo Coehlo's novel, The Aleph:– I forgive the girl I was, not because I want to become a saint but because I do not want to endure this hatred. This tiresome hatred.This was not what I expected.
– You may not forgive everyone and everything, but forgive me.
– I forgive everything and everyone. I forgive you because I love you and you do not love me. I forgive you because you reject me and I am losing my power.She closes her eyes and raises her hands towards the ceiling.– I am liberated from hatred by means of forgiveness and love. I understand that suffering, when it cannot be avoided, helps me to advance towards glory.The tears I shed, I forgive.
The suffering and disappointments, I forgive.
The betrayals and lies, I forgive.
The slandering and scheming, I forgive.
The hatred and persecution, I forgive.
The punches that were given, I forgive.
The shattered dreams, I forgive.
The dead hopes, I forgive.
The disaffection and jealousy, I forgive.
The indifference and ill will, I forgive.
The injustice in the name of justice, I forgive.
The anger and mistreatment, I forgive.
The neglect and oblivion, I forgive.
The world with all its evil, I forgive.Grief and resentment, I replace with understanding and agreement.
Revolt, I replace with music that comes from my violin.
Pain I replace with oblivion.
Revenge, I replace with victory.I will be able to love above all discontentment.
To give even when I am stripped of everything.
To work happily even when I find myself in the midst of all obstacles.
To dry tears even when I am still crying.
To believe even when I am discredited.– Thy will be done. Thy will be done.*******************************************
I wish all of you a peaceful new year.
