The champagne has been drunk. The 12 ceremonial grapes for 12 fortunate months have been consumed. Our bellies reveling in the abundance that comes with all holiday cheer. Now, we begin 2023 with fresh resolutions, hopefully some that stick, and positive intentions for improving upon the craziness of last year. As we distance ourselves further and further from the eclectic recent years of economic unrest, a worldwide pandemic, and re-elections, let us look now to this year being filled with renewed curiosity and optimism that such spirits will carry a more resounding note of healing and deepening friendships.
