Looking for a New Year’s resolution you can keep and that will help the world? If you have the means, support journalism! Subscribe to a magazine or local newspaper. It’s dollars for democracy. A great investment, in the truth, and our collective future.
I close my eyes remembering Christmases past. Friends and family long gone. Peace and pain. Love and loss. Eyes open, and I feel the warmth of the blessings of the present. I breathe deep a hope, always hope, for the future. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
