I’m not one to be superstitious as a rule, but I favor even years.  And so I welcome 2016.

This past year brought particular sadness, yet laughter, accomplishments, and joy too.

Each year, each day, despite the inevitable cliché, offers an opportunity for greater knowledge, growth, happiness, and peace.

It is that promise that encourages us to strive on and take the best moments as the gift they are.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
