New Year

 


Another year has begun, for that I am grateful. However, during the festivities my heart did not rejoice as much as prior years. Don´t get me wrong, I was happy to be with my loved ones, even though dad wasn´t physically present, nor my middle sister nor her immediate family who stayed in the country.

As I was driving to the New Year´s Eve party, I saw the homeless and those at war came to mind. I was well-dressed and all prepped up to eat a fabulous feast with my family while these people have nothing except loss, suffering and pain.

The New Year brings along hope for better times, nonetheless, it´s just another calendar day, the earth has completed its 365-day trip around the sun, making it a holiday when most businesses are closed. However, not everyone gets the day oof, there are those who need to work in order to keep us safe. To you, I applaud and thank you.

Although last night I may have felt odd, I felt or better, I am grateful for all that I am, all that I have, being given another day to make a difference. I pray for those in pain.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
