Great reflection on the year. I love the vibrant color of the fonts and the picture you included (it goes well with the theme). I enjoy the gratitude conveyed in this piece. I wish you a happy New Year.

It pains me to think of all you've dealt with. Loss is never so magnified as during the holidays, my friend.

I pray sweet memories will once again make you smile...

It's never really closure... It's accepting we will meet again.

All my best!

Karenina

Thank you, Karenina, for this thoughtful poem and Christmas wish. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I just got back from visiting with my daughter and had a very relaxing few days - got spoiled rotten as usual. Happy New Year to you and yours.

So glad you got away! You deserve to be spoiled...as you spoil me with these six stars! It was an icy but lovely Christmas. We never go out on New Years Eve so it's going to be a relaxing end of week for us! Here's wishing you all the best of 2022 as well! Thanks, Karenina

You are very welcome. We just got an announcement that we are in lockdown again so no gatherings on New Years' day.

reply by the author on 30-Dec-2021

Ugh! It's going in that direction here, again, as well. A quiet night at home for sure!
