I find myself sitting in the quiet of my big and empty (for now) home this Sunday morning, reflecting, while the family is off to Church. It is the last day of the year – 2023.

Savour /ˈseɪvə/ – To experience and enjoy to the full. I heard something that stopped me in my tracks today: …The ability to savour has been proven to increase happiness.
