Isn't It a Good Idea?

A friend and I were talking about new years. We wanted something different to celebrate than our friends who went to dance and dine. He remembered a tradition ihad read about somewhere in which at the stroke of midnight, people opened their windows and tossed out any broken things they'd been holding on to. The street sweepers would come by a few minutes later and clear it all away. It made me think about what we held in our hearts and minds even when they no longer served us.
