I always like December 31st, no matter what year it is. I get excited at the thought of waking up in a brand new year. The promise of new things to come, of hope for a brighter future, for peace and for change is on the horizon for the next twelve months.
Perhaps I am an eternal optimist, or perhaps my faith in mankind isn’t totally shattered by what I see in the world around me. Perhaps I still have a few naive beliefs that keep hope alive for a future I dream of instead of the reality I live every day of every year.
I have watched twelve children grow into men and women I love and I’ve watched them start their own families. I’ve watched as my grandchildren came into the world, and every birth is reason to hope for a better tomorrow.
Birth and rebirth, whether it be another grandchild, a new season, or a new year, fills me with hope, happiness and the promise of good things to come.
And this is what I wish for each of you; that your hearts be filled with peace, hope, happiness and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
Happy New Year, everyone!
