Ringing in the New Year 2024

In 2023, I have had a lot of ups and downs.
With my uncle passing away on Feb 2, 2023.
On March 29, 2023, Our Maple Tree in the front yard fell. Waiting 3 months to get rid of it.
On June 12, my dad fell and slipped on wet grass breaking his left wrist, Thank goodness, through physical therapy he's able to move it & heal it.
One of my happiest moments. Then a week later, my brother & his wife & my 2 nephews came down.

Throughout these past 2 years, 2022 & 2023 going to dentist appointments to fix my teeth and be almost done. Another 2 more years.
Recording, and editing over 175 videos for my YouTube channel.
Making videos & photos for my other social media profiles Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok.

Including all these conflicts, wars, drama, bullies, narcissistic behavior, crazy protesting, mass shootings, and reading people unaliving themselves.

As you read, it's been a sad, crazy, chaotic, and rough year for me. I know I'm not the only one who had a rough & sad year.

It seems like every year that ends with a 3 or 6 in it, we all go through sadness, struggles, karma, bad luck, problems, and issues in our lives. That's what I have noticed in the past 38 years that I lived.

Plus, I will be publishing my 10th poetry book in 2024.

Here's a poem I wrote & hope 2024 gets better for everyone.

🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊
Goodbye 2023,
It was sad, crazy, chaotic, and rough.
You really knew how to pop that confetti.
It was super epic fun making new friends.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hello, 2024,
Here's to not slamming doors.
Or falling on wet floors.
Here's to laughing some more.
Here's to the people with their loud, obnoxious roar.
Hopefully, 2024 is not a bore.
Pray that we are done going to war.
