Let’s Lift Our Glasses…
The candle flickers; scented air descends
Like joy, resting invisible upon the table, and in the mind.
Now is the time to breathe deeply
and …
To blow lightly on joy’s timid flame,
To wish it rise yet again.
May next year be better than the last!
Happy New Year!

Psalm 5:11
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them sing joyful praises forever. Spread your protection over them, that all who love your name may be filled with joy.
New Year toasts have been an Always the Fight tradition for 15 years.
