Auld Lang Syne<\/strong>
\nMany of us will have joined in this traditional song over New Year. It is believed
\nthat the song was first written down by my favourite poet Robbie Burns.
\nAt this time of year it is good to reflect on those words of auld lang syne often
\ntranslated as \u201c Times gone by\u201d. To pause to remember how we got to this
\npoint in our journey. To recall the happiness and heartaches , successes and
\nmistakes, times of togetherness and loneliness, loves and losses, hopes
\nand fears. Those times when our glass was half full and when it seemed
\nhalf empty.
\nLast year I was given a tee shirt that said \u201cKindness is the only way forward\u201d.
\nFor me being kind is a very underrated gift in our society. As the year turns and
\nwe travel forward we will meet those highs and lows, those challenges and
\nsetbacks so let us take with us the cup of kindness into 2024 and share it in the
\nopportunities it will bring.<\/p>\n
