Something I found scrolling on Pinterest that I thought one of you might need. "terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that's happened to us, we need a moment to say, 'that's done, we're done with it, it's over' and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of the winter, and prepare ourselves for spring." Happy New Years. Even if this year goes bad, may it bring you some pleasant things, too, and some character growth, may you make a new friend or find a new favorite song. May your New Years' resolutions be fruitful and may the previous year pass away peacefully. Cheers.
