Oops! Did January just… vanish? Blink and you missed it, right? I know, I know, New Year’s resolutions are probably already gathering dust and that “fresh start” feeling might be fading a little. Life gets busy, things get hectic, and suddenly it’s the tail end of the month. It’s easy to feel like the moment’s completely passed.

And honestly, doesn’t it stink when you miss those little opportunities to connect with people you care about? A simple “Happy New Year!” can be such a nice little spark, a way to acknowledge the start of something new together, to share a little hope for good things to come. When you miss that window, it feels like you missed a chance to spread a bit of cheer, a little bit of goodwill. It can leave you feeling like you’re playing catch-up.
