I’m fortunate to have a beloved husband, a family I adore, and many cherished friends — and they all enrich my life in ways I can’t even quantify. So for the purposes of your blog, may I copy your other readers and say YOU? Thank you for the smiles you bring my way every single day, Beth. Here’s to a happy new year for you!
