Continue to hope
New Year’s Day is not a magical moment. It simply marks the completion of another orbit around the sun for our planet. Behaviors do not change simply because the date has changed, everyone who has made a New Year’s resolution knows that. What were problems on Dec. 31 remain problems on Jan. 1.
On the other hand, when a year passes into history we experience an uplifting surge of hope that next time around things will be different and better.
