All Things Bright and Beautiful

Greetings to you.
As we turn the calendar, you and your loved ones are wished all things bright and beautiful for 2025.  
Below is an excerpt from a recent poem to help launch this new chapter:

HERE’S TO A NEW YEAR
 
Antique hands turn and the clock strikes twelve / Marking the start of a brand new year
And in fine spirits I shout, ‘that’s a wrap’ / Joining in the spontaneous cheer
 
Then thankfully, I pause to reflect / On the blessings of the year just past 
And ask myself, what have I rendered / To make a difference that will last 
 
In the post-celebration stillness / I ponder wishes I’d like to see
Come to pass over the next twelve months / Yes, I am filled with expectancy
 
My earnest hope for what lies ahead / Is found in all that will satisfy
And how well I’ll navigate the course / Including more new things I might try 
 ......
Ah, truth brings greater thirsting for life  / And resurrects hopes once thought as dead
So, I’ll release regrets from the past / And fix my eyes on the prize instead 
 ......
 I know as I start a fresh chapter / These thoughts will resurface now and then
And I’ll hold myself accountable / When I celebrate New Year’s again
