2024 has been a good year. There is so much to be grateful for! So many in the world are less fortunate and my thoughts are with those in need. From the on-going war in Ukraine to multiple conflicts in the Middle East, there are many without their basic needs being met.

There are at least six basic human needs and these needs include: food, water, shelter, clothing, health, and security. (I also include happiness as a basic need making seven total.) Many of those with their basic needs being met can help others. Please do.

I am grateful for having the seven basic needs! I am also grateful for my family and friends. Thanks to all of you for being a very important part of my life and contributing to my happiness!

From my family to yours – Best wishes for a Happy New Year!
