It amuses me because with a tiny bit of digital copy~n~paste, I re-used it for 2020, 2021 and 2022!
Happy New Year!

Three years ago, Facebook informed me "this photo from 6 years ago today was your most liked that year.
We thought you'd like to look back on it."
(But it won't work for 2023, we'll have to wait until 2024 before it can be re-adapted.)
So we'll have a clip art floating the web, instead.
Three years ago, I began with a wish for "Ma'at to prevail" in 2020. (The ankhs are holding symbols of Ma'at (truth, justice and fairness))! Sadly, I think back to all the times Ma'at DID NOT prevail in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Did my talisman fail?
While I still pray that, prehaps I am better guided to think about how _I_ (and only _I_) can work towards this goal in my life. I can not control the actions of others. I can only control my own actions.
(Am I tempted to add, "And only on the good days!) Would that be a more truthful assessment? But I can aim, EACH DAY, towards that goal. Am I seeking the Truth? Am I speaking the Truth? Am I being fair? (And thereby following that goal, a whole raft of subsequent virtues, Ma'at being the bed rock of them all.)
May Ma'at prevail (chez moi) in 2023!
Best of fortune to you dear readers in 2023 (or in any other year in which you find yourself!)
