New Year’s a time to hope, reflect

The new year sauntered in with the usual hopes for a brighter tomorrow, warmer hearts and political accountability. On a more personal level are resolutions to lose weight, live better and break bad habits. It was the same last year, and it will be the same next year.

That’s not as cynical as it sounds. The changing of the calendar always provides an opportunity to hope and to reflect.
