This last year has been a struggle for the whole world. Yet they say that our struggles give us meaning, purpose and grace. The meaning of our lost ones through this difficult year and the importance to give thanks to those who are still with us. And then there is the purpose of everything around us; how fragile our social and environmental existence is, and especially how easily we take both our health / our lives for granted. May we have the grace to be forgiving, let go of the past and the courage to make a change. May we find some peace and tranquility in the chaos of this pandemic.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ~ BONNE ET HEUREUSE ANNÉE ~ FELIZ ANO NUEVO
