You're welcome @Lizelle! So you do something similar every year! I think the act of believing something like this will work will sometimes make it so.
I still keep the rose-colored glasses in my pocket but try not to wear them all the time because, in my experience anyway, it's caused me hardship. I agree with you about the skeptics, some people will find fault in anything and everything. Conspiracy theorists are running rampant (although I admit some have been proven valid). After a while these people become so jaded and relish in their misery so long they forget how to be happy. It's all about striking some kind of balance, I think.
I remain hopeful and optimistic and like your idea of working together! I wish you an amazing, fulfilling, and peaceful 2024 my friend.
