Everyday presents an opportunity to celebrate, do something nice, be happy and enjoy.

Abuse of alcohol has played a prominent role in my life. Events occurring during the holidays still are the source of much emotion, mostly very negative. Therapists have correctly pointed out that was then; this is now. Just the same, my preference tends to small groups uninfluenced by alcohol. For me, January 1 is just another day.

Happy New Year to all.
