Lagalog looks back and looks forward

Every new year brings new hope. As Lagalog looks back to the year past, he utters a prayer of thanks for so many blessings and graces, so many miles traveled, many friends and acquaintances made. Here's looking forward to renewed hope and a revitalized spirit for the new year. God bless everyone!  Lagalog apologizes for the late replies as he's on an extended break down south.  Hope to be back soon with fresh takes.
