Happy New Years. FWIW I think next year will be at least more of the same, but not substantially different nor better. I cease to be under any illusions. I've long ago given up hope on Mankind and his overall atrocious behaviours, but we can always hope. The animals should continue along their merry ways though, for they always seem to grace the planet with beauty and awe, and for my part, have always given me great joy.

All we've got is what we've got though, so I will hope for the best of HEALTH to us all, for that is really foremost. As for the elusive elixir called Happiness...well, that's for each of us to seek,and most important of all, to recognize, whenever and wherever we find it.

Best wishes, Love and Peace and good stuff,

Eugene
