Essence Of Life: Kicking off a New Year means change and facing challenges that awaits into the coming future, with that being said the weather became cold and brisk nothing like out of a tropical movie but frigid as can be. The little that was known to me is what I remember from year before, anytime there’s the start of a year there will be allot of garbage on the streets from the trees that were cut down to celebrate the Christmas and New Year holidays, I look forward to see if it will be cleaner than the year before but to my surprise its often not. Also came the opening of the extension of a new subway station along the 2nd ave line to 96st.
