The last day of 2023 is now here. I welcome 2024 with excitement and anticipation.
I watch the daily sunrise with a prayerful attitude. I think of three simple words: gratitude, love, and forgiveness. How much more peaceful, happy, and beautiful each day would be for everyone if we lived with gratitude in our hearts, love for each person, and forgiveness of others and ourselves for transgressions.
This is a photo I took as a storm was making its initial entrance from the west. Each individual must learn from the storms of life to have joy and peace.
Wishing you a new year of peace, love, and joy.
