Christmas is upon us and 2023 is coming to an end. Each December we get lost in the hustle and bustle of the holidays, then suddenly it's January of a new year. December is the last chapter, the epilogue.
We wrap up the previous twelve months with holiday festivities, spend more money than we planned and stress about that more than we hoped. But, somehow, in all the chaos, we begin to plan for the new year to be better than the last. As we turn the final page of 2023 we resolve to let go of what has passed and engage in what is to come, optimistic and excited to begin painting our clean slate. Somehow, the first chapter is filled hope.

A Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Dave and Beth!
So very well written and your eloquent words surmise the past year perfectly. May we all find the New Year with New Chapters yet unwritten filled with hope and good tidings and that the difficulties in front of all of us be nothing more than a short twinkling of time so that there are more opportunities to embrace the endless possibilities of Hope and Happiness.
Happy New Year to You and yours, and
May your anchor hold fast,
Your cork be loose,
The rum flow free,
and your compass be true.
Fair Winds & Following Seas!
Ric
Merry Christmas to you both! The days are getting longer and we're halfway to the next sailing season. We look forward to great times at the dock and on the Bay! Wishing you a wonderful 2024, filled with adventure!
