The new year was ushered in with views of silent fireworks sparkling over the cityscape of NY. Looking out from our bedroom in Fort Greene, Brooklyn we can see a glimpse of Manhattan and the East River, Williamsburg and Long Island City to the left; Jackson Heights and Flushing are straight ahead in the distance; and Bushwick and Bed-Stuy stretch out to the right. Each was intermittently illuminated by fireworks as people celebrated the turning of the year. Although a quiet night at home was dictated by our attempt to stay safe and healthy and avoid crowds, our first new year in NY was still exciting as we watched the celebrations spread out from our windows. It marked the end of a busy year that won’t soon be forgotten due to both the global pandemic that dramatically changed how we all live, but also because of personal changes.
