This New Year, Take A Glass of Kindness

This old New Year’s song never fails to get us sentimental about the passing year, along with all the people we met, the recipes, and memories we made–all or some of them, good or bad. Although the new year is a great opportunity to make new changes and promises, take on bigger challenges and dive into new ventures, the music is a tender reminder to be kind to days of auld lang syne, old long since.

Should all acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind Should all acquaintance be forgot For auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear For auld lang syne We’ll take a cup of kindness yet For auld lang syne

Whatever being “kind” means to different people: honor, pass on, learn from the past, learn from the old, cherish, treasure, to not forget to remember, we’ll take a cup, and send everyone good cheers for the new year!
