May your year ahead be filled with laughter, fat chickens and just the right amount of snow, with an early spring, with plenty of love, a summer of abundant garden produce, a good apple season, and a warm home. May you always be able to find the good, and may you always steer through any rough spots with grace. May you manage to find goodwill and grace towards all.
