A new year is another new chance. 

We can each start once again in our efforts to become better. 

We can renew our efforts to eat the right foods and to get an adequate amount of exercise. 

We can also endeavor to stay informed about the things happening in the world that effect our health and well-being now as well as those that will effect future generations. 

We can vow to be better friends, neighbors, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters. 

We can plan to smile more and to generously give of ourselves to those who have less than we do. 

We can start by wishing as individuals for the discipline to achieve all our goals. 

A great New Year would be one in which in addition to becoming the best individual person, we all work together for peace and harmony in our own home, our neighborhood, our city, and on and on until it spreads like sunshine all over the planet. 

That would be a Happy New Year, this time for real!
