Also, so much guidance in how to live life - with curiosity, empathy and optimism. Times, both bad and good, will come and go. Lives will be lived and time will move on. But seeing the humanism of people, in my humble opinion, is reason for hope for a better future. Have a wonderful new year everyone!
