My Thought for the week:

I have 2, first:

Let’s welcome the New Year which gives us hope,

Let’s welcome the New Year which gives us happiness and

 Let’s cherish each moment it beholds.

Second:

Before the sun sets in this year,

before the memories fade,

 before the networks get jammed,

I wish you and your families a Happy and sparkling 2023.

 Happy New Year, be safe.
