Welcome 2023!
Happy New Year! From my home to yours I send the best wishes to you all for 2023. Ms. M finds herself enjoying a glass of kombucha this afternoon thinking upon what the New Year will bring. Every year people hope to bring change to their lives with resolutions. Here are few everyday things to try out, if you haven’t yet, and most won’t put a pinch in your budget.
Knowledge is one of the great ways to bring about change in your life. Try on a new hat by taking a class with Modesto Junior College’s Community Education this spring term. It’s never too early or late to pick up a new skill, try out a new hobby or meet new people. There are classes for all ages & simple to sign up for. Info: www.mjc4life.org
