With the coming of a new year, come new opportunities to explore, friendships to nurture, and beautiful moments to cherish. Forever and ever. Tonight we say goodbye to the old, hoping we learned something from it and welcome in the brand new 2022.

Step back from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life and reflect on the year that is passing us by. It is the season of tidings of comfort and joy - we are supposed to look for the good in everyone. So, be kind and give it freely.

Please remember that New Year’s holiday is a time to enjoy and celebrate… but make the right choice for yourself, your friends and especially your family. Have fun, but arrive back safely, and please try not to bring anything extra home with you. As I wave goodbye, it is not without a catch in my throat. There was so much that I have to be grateful for in the last year; so many people to be thankful for, so many wonderful moments, so much, so many. My heart is full. I raise my glass to you, rejoicing in new beginnings. So without getting all teary-eyed before my night begins, I just want to take a moment to say to all: be safe, have fun and make 2022 the best year ever – Happy, Happy New Year!

And I love you. Salut!

Denise ❤️

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
