2023 is the year of GRATITUDE

I don't have a bunch of words of wisdom for the new year. 2022 was rough in many ways, but ended in a positive way. I have a renewed heart and a renewed view on life and what's most important. I have hope in the midst of affliction. I have a lifetime of memories stored up, and a million more experiences to look forward.
