As we prepare to wind down 2024, all of us can likely say we’ve faced challenges, in too many cases tragedies, and yes triumphs. We’ve learned, we’ve grown, we’ve adapted. Now is the time to turn the page. As we celebrate the holidays we are reminded that our presence matters most, not the presents you give or receive. For those who’ve lost loved ones, the absence of that presence is a painful, powerful reminder to live every moment in the present. A new year brings new opportunities. The canvas isn’t necessarily brand new, but we are hopeful for new beginnings, new ideas, new moments of celebration, new solutions, and new relationships. Let’s embrace the unknown as every ending is a beginning. Here’s to being more present in 2025 to impact our community and each other in a positive and progressively forward way. Happy New Year, Central Alabama!
