Friday Focus: Recharged and looking forward to a new year

The new year is well underway as we near the end of January 2023. I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break and the opportunity to take some time off, and spend time with friends and family even if it was 20 below. Whatever you chose to take part in, I hope it was refreshing and allowed you to set new goals for yourself and not just resolutions.
