First Day of a New Year

Well, dragons did not take to the skies and as far as I know there were no messages from other species, but it was a wonderful beginning at my house for a hopeful year. We got together, listened to some fine music, ate some nice food, watched a hopeful movie, and exchanged a few stories.

I spent a big part of the day communicating with friends from all over, wishing them a good start for the year. So many people celebrate the end of the last year. I am far happier looking ahead with hope and a plan.

So keep your eye out for a flight of dragons or some trolls guarding bridges. Good stories start in the oddest ways. We need to stay focused on the hopeful, the positive, and the good in the world. At the same time, I know how hard people struggle every day to get the essentials. My wish for everyone for 2023 – May your struggles be less, your joys be plentiful, and your opportunities make enough noise to gain your attention.

Be sure to read to a happy place!
