Happy New Year's Eve 2025/2026
Cheer for endings -- whether goals have been met or not --
whether the ending is tidy or ragged.
Without endings, there would be neither the opportunity
nor the incentive to think new thoughts,
and to begin great new projects.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
At the end of a matter ask,
"What will I learn from this to make me better?"
- Mary Anne Radmacher
It's your life.
Live it with people who are alive.
It tends to be contagious.
- Peter McWilliams
Happiness is like a kiss.
You must share it to enjoy it.
- Bernard Meltzer
Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom.
It should be the first duty of those who are happy
to let others know of their gladness.
