Year’s end,
all corners
of this floating world, swept.

Happy New Year to you. May tomorrow bring us closer to good health, peace and happiness in the world.
Yes!!!

Fabulous photo DK — Happy New Year to you and yours! One of my favourite sayings for this time of year is one I learned while at school in Germany – “guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr” – the loose translation is … ‘have a good slide into the New Year’ <3
Hadn’t heard of it Louise. Like it. Happy New Year!
