On this New Year’s Eve, we say good-bye to the old year, and welcome in the new one. Like many of us, you may be delighted to leave 2020 behind. While you step over the threshold into 2021, I thought it might be just the time to share some spirit-lifting items, friends and family have been kind enough to email or text me.

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language,
And next year’s words await another voice.
~ T.S. Eliot
