Happy New Year to Most of Us

While definitely, a new year is good time to start anew, a time to rethink all plans, to reconsider things we were sure of, reshuffle priorities, to question beliefs, to gain new hope, and wish better days to come, not all of us make this far. Some people make it just a day short of the new hopes and beginnings. Some families are mourning, when they were excited to celebrate. Some are busy doing their stuff, not minding the celebration. Some are busy going somewhere, while some are saying their last goodbyes. Some, they're are just not there. They didn't make it.

While celebrating the new year, let's not forget to pause for a while and think of those people. Ones we shared a brief moment or spent most of our lives with. Those who shared with us a drink or a meal, or an hour of work, or just an empty conversation. Those people who we wish are still with us today, and somehow, one way or another, helped us make it through this year to celebrate, and think of plans, and plan of futures, and hope of hopes.

Let's spend a moment to remember them. And at least let them reach the new year with us even if just in our thoughts.

Glen, you will be remembered. Happy new year.
