On Monday, the Times Square Alliance, the same group that organizes the giant New Years Eve party, held their third annual Good Riddance day from 12 to 1 pm where people could come and shred, smash, and dump "any distasteful, embarrassing and downright depressing memories from 2009." Dozens of people stopped by to shred anything from pink slips, to newspaper articles, to the names of ex-boyfriends.
While you're making out your resolutions this week in order to have a happier, healthier 2010, it might not come amiss to make a list of things you'd like to let go of. Symbolism is a powerful thing, so take all the disappointments from the past year and shred them, toss them, donate them and be done with it. Start fresh for 2010.
