Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025! Today is the day resolutions begin to dance in our heads as we contemplate new beginnings. A new year is strange, is it not? It is the one day of the year when the whole world welcomes … no, celebrates change. Every other day of the year most of the world fights change. Leo Tolstoy provides us a little insight on this. My new year’s gift to you is this quote from him. Read it twice as there is wisdom in his words. Happy New Year!

“We imagine that when we are thrown out of our usual ruts all is lost, but it is only then that what is new and good begins. While there is life there is happiness. There is much, much before us.” Leo Tolstoy
