December does so much to us. Or is it the other way about? Between do’s and did’s, will’s and wont’s, we have come together to listen, eat, drink, chat and miss those who were missing. No more saying than thanks a million times. Hope words, wishes and wonder may bring us together in 2023.

I’d like to say so long by quoting the last couplet of the poem YOU READING THIS, BE READY by William Stafford:

What can anyone give you greater than now,
starting here, right in this room, when you turn around?
