With the end of the year approaching and various holidays coming down upon us, wanted to take a brief moment to reminisce, contemplate, and wish everyone the best.

It is a blessing to be thankful. It's also humbling to detect positives through the hardships, find an enjoyment in the benevolent endeavors we seek, and thus, be grateful.

Whether we're readers or writers, we are creatures of honor. We see through one another by what we read and communicate through what we say and write. That's how we know each of us deeply cares.

Let us commence a new year full of love and devotion to making things better. Let us wish one another the best and really mean it, as in act upon it.

It is in us to be nice, cordial, and kind. That's our innate nature. Let us proceed with peace, learn to forgive, and most importantly, take wisdom from our past rather than dwell.

Happy holidays to all, best regards, and may God bless!
