To me, no other holiday holds the level of spiritual gravitas that New Years does. We don't ascribe it any religious significance, nor do we dress it up with ribbons and bows. My psyche feels the year's passing with a scalpel's keenness, deep and biting. There were opportunities, friendships, loved ones and moments lost. But, then again, those same were also gained.
We lose when the old year passes, there is no doubt of that, but we also gain a whole new batch of experiences when the new year arrives. Mourn the lose, yet celebrate the gain. Happy New Year to all!
