Answer:  NEW WEIGH OF LIFE

(I thought this was fairly challenging!  No new clue words, but some pretty neat jumbling.  My two favorites were “figure” and “acidic”.  The answer letter layout was one of Hoyt’s best!  A true masterpiece of jumbling artistry!  And, the cartoon set the tone perfectly, without resorting to any gimmicky bonus clues.  You folks who don’t get a Sunday Jumble in your paper really missed out on a great puzzle.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.
