It is a new year. Again. Didn't we just get a new year? In fact we have been getting a new year for as long as I can remember. It is always the same. We get a new year, all shiny and bright. Champagne bottles pop. Fireworks explode. People kiss. We are all excited. Then, around April, the newness fades a little. As time moves on the year looks used. And after a while we are ready for a new one. I say, let us treat this year better than than the others. If we are careful, maybe this year will last a little longer than the last. Happy New Year!
