Another year is here—
Another 12 months and 365 days to look forward to.
Some celebrate with fireworks and sparkling drinks,
Some enjoy the quiet,
And some don't even wait for the clock to strike 12.
Some celebrate with loved ones and close friends,
Exchanging heartfelt wishes for the blessings the year may bring,
Looking forward to the new year with hope and excitement for good things to come.
Some are planning big milestones—weddings, births, travels, and other unforgettable moments.
To some, it must feel like another day with only the digits changing.
You still have to get up and go about your day
With hope, courage, and a prayer for a year full of positive changes.
As we begin this year,
Pause and reflect on the year that's gone by—
Memories created,
Loved ones lost,
Friendships formed,
And others broken.
Let’s pray for peace, love, compassion, and a better world.
Let’s be kinder to ourselves and to each other.
