Your Most Memorable New Years Experience Was?

My most memorable was back in 1974; I was living in south Florida, Atlantic coast, in Delray Beach. It was a warm night and my group was on the beach with a small fire and the necessary accoutrements for a New Year's celebration. We had all decided to go for a swim (sans clothing) just before midnight, without the knowledge that a phosphorescent tide had come in so far. The tide is so-called due to the micro-organisms, glowing in the dark, that ride the currents during their spawning season in such numbers as to have an affect on the water's appearance after dark. Their own bioluminescence gives the effect of the water itself glowing. Someone in our group with a watch proclaimed that it was midnight, and all of us stood out of the waist deep water for a group hug and it hit all of us; we were glowing in the dark! That beautiful picture in my mind of those young bodies in the night, rising out of the ocean, glowing in the dark, to celebrate the entrance of a new year will always stand out to me as one of my favorites. That was just one of my better recollections; I've been blessed.
