Season Greetings
We've always wish the New Year to be better than the current one: we wish friends, close relatives and colleagues health and prosperity and through the years such wishes have been made out of habit.
None of us thought past January that 2020 will be the year that will turn everything upside down, our definition of 'normal', the way we interact with each other, the way we socialize, shop and most importantly take care of ourselves and our health. 2020 had been a year of unprecedented hardship .It is a year that most of us wish to erase from our pool of memories and never have to be remembered of being locked down, battling with stress and anxiety for the future and what-if scenarios' challenging our resilience and mental health.
For sure, this year ends soon with some positives; a vaccine that will save lives (including ours), redefining our priorities in life so the wishes that we will exchange this year will be truly from the bottom of our hearts and mind and above all truly meant.
We hope that you know we have tried to do our best by each and everyone of you , so that you feel a little better and a little less lonely .
Our hearts has sailed with you ,our prayers has accompanied you at every port: you have been our heroes !
At 2021, together, we will set sail to calmer seas and a better world.
May you and your families be blessed.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year
