New Year wishes

 


May this new year find you
healthier and happier,
peaceful, content, satisfied,
looking forward
to fresh, revitalizing interests,
a variety of pleasures,
interesting new people,
material and personal successes
to make this new year
the best one yet.
Happy New Year!

By Joanna Fuchs

Perhaps the silver lining of this horrendous year has been better appreciating the small blessings that still fill our lives.  Family, friendships, nature, health, hobbies, simplicity, love.  

It's been many years since we left the house on New Years Eve and tonight will be no different. We have some great memories, though. The best were long ago, when the Seattle Symphony put on a Viennese concert full of waltzes and other light classical pieces. 

After the concert, we would go out for a late dinner with friends at an Irish restaurant near the Seattle Center, share a bottle of bubbly, and then step outside the restaurant with our glasses at midnight to toast the fireworks at the Space Needle. Seattle was a very different place back then. And this year the fireworks are “virtual.”

Anyway, maybe a healthful night's sleep is the best way to welcome in 2021? Whatever you do, we wish you the happiest of new years. We have to believe better times are coming.
