January 2024 in Pictures by Fran Joyce

It’s a new year with new obstacles, challenges, and infinite possibilities. What will you do to make this the best year ever?

This year we didn’t really discuss resolutions. Maybe instead of making resolutions, we make up our minds to expect better from ourselves, our families, friends, news media, and elected officials.

This month, we remember and honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and pray for peace.

We play outside and celebrate with friends, and hopefully, we take a minute to be grateful and admire the beauty of our world. Please enjoy January 2024 in Pictures from This Awful Awesome Life. Make it a good one!
