I wish all visitors to this site a Happy and healthy New Year. I want to thank all those who have shown kindness to me as I went through yet another battle with cancer. I am not alone in having found 2024 difficult.
We may not be able to command world leaders to act with morality, ethics, honesty and compassion, hoaever much we wish we could. What we can do is show compassion and decency in our own lives and in our interactions on social media and in games like Seaside. We are real human beings with real issues.
When farmers lash out at neighbours or buddies for not doing what they would like, take a moment to remember that they too are individuals who may be suffering from health issues or grieving from the loss of a loved one. A small act of kindness or sympathy can change an individual's day.
On a personal note, the 3rd was my mother's birthday. With absolutely no connection to bowling that features in this Quest, she really liked the New Year option of serving beans for good luck and made Black-Eyed Peas on New Year's Day for family and friends for many decades. It made me smile to see the dish in this Quest.
New Year traditions in the West include making Roast Pork with Sauerkraut and a Pig moulded with peppermint sugar. A tiny hammer then would be used to smash the pig into fragments and share it with every one for good fortune.
There are many special breads and cakes that are traditional both at Christmas and the New Year.
One rather universal custom was to sweep all the dirt and dust through the front door and leave the door open for a time so that all negative and evil influences are driven out.
Some people make a list of positive Resolutions at the New Year.
I would like to see a kinder world that cares more about people than profit and does not enforce a corrupt 'peace' without recognising the rights of the people who have no power to demand them for themselves.
Wishing every one the very best: courage with compassion, and the strength to meet every challenge. Most of all, may you be supported by the power of friendship and love. People need to be reminded that others still care about them.
