Happy New Year It’s another New Year and all through my   house, Rejoicing is high as there is no mouse. Except for the one that runs my laptop— So quiet you really can hear a pin drop.  The new insulation I put in the garage, Took lots of work plus a post-massage. It was certainly worth it, I declare, Inside there is now much warmer air! My stocking once hung from the mantel with care, Is back in its box—its yearly armchair. And it its case my treasured tree, Made of ceramic so there’s no debris.  Another good meal is about to be served, From all the left-overs we reserved. The reheated dishes from holiday fare, Account for the wonderful smells in the air.  The sun shining brightly has dispelled the fog, A very good thing as it looked like eggnog! Despite the pandemic it’s been a good year, I accomplished a lot with friends I hold dear.  We have slipped through New-Year’s open gate, On wings of time that never wait. They take us to a different height— A brand-new chance to get it right.  Make time to connect—it goes so fast— The love of true friends is what will last. From my heart to yours, I wish for you, The very best year in all that you do.
