Was es nicht alles gibt …

Letztes Jahr habe ich schon die Neujahrsbotschaft von Kurt Tepperwein hier geteilt.

Auch dieses Jahr möchte ich dies tun – ihm zuzuhören ist immer wieder eine besondere Freude.
Mit dem So Sein wünsche ich allen ein frohes, gesundes, glückliches und erfolgreiches neues Jahr(zehnt)! 🙏
